If you think you've got a really good solution for robotics grasping you shouldn't be competing in the Amazon Picking Challenge given the IP terms. We (Righthand Robotics) think we've got a handle on the problem but didn't want to get involved for that reason. There are some other companies out there with interesting solutions who weren't involved either.

- amelius 9y ago> you shouldn't be competing in the Amazon Picking Challenge given the IP terms. This makes me wonder. Why did people compete for the Netflix prize, [1]? Were those IP terms better? [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Netflix_Prize https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Netflix_Prize

- Symmetry 9y agoPeople are competing in the Amazon Picking Challenge too! But the picking prize is just $50,000. If it were $1,000,000 like the Netflix prize I'm sure there would be more competition.
- robotresearcher 9y agoThe cost of participation is totally different. Physical robot vs. pure software.
