Stacking an object on top of another object is a straightforward task for most people. But even the most complex robots struggle to handle more than one such task at a time. Stacking requires a range of different motor, perception, and analytics skills, including the ability to interact with different kinds of objects. The level of sophistication involved has elevated this simple human task to a “grand challenge” in robotics and spawned a cottage industry dedicated to developing new techniques and approaches.
A team of researchers at DeepMind believe that advancing the state of the art in robotic stacking will require a new benchmark. In a paper to be presented at the Conference on Robot Learning (CoRL 2021), they introduce...
