- flor1s 9y agoI've been talking with some people in my lab about that, it seems like a really interesting competition. I'm really curious to see how Pepper will be performing!
- ragebol 9y agoI'm also very curious, but from what I've heard, Pepper's manipulations capabilities are lacking. The challenges for Pepper focus more on Human-Robot interaction, which it is made for of course. The Open Platform robots and HSRs have to do tasks like store groceries and set+clean a table, which require much more manipulation skills
- flor1s 9y agoAh yes, I've had the same issue with NAO. One of the best ways to grab an object (water bottle or box) seems to be to do a "hug grasp".
