四支学术团队挑战实验室玻璃器皿自动搬运清洁，推动产学研协同落地。
The First WARA Robotics Mobile Manipulation Challenge -- Lessons Learned
- 联合药企设计真实实验室任务，要求机器人自主导航与复杂操作。
- 四支队伍提出不同方案，均完成玻璃器皿搬运与清洗流程。
- 总结经验为2025年优化挑战赛提供设计参考，适合机器人应用研究者。
2024年12月，首届WARA Robotics移动操作挑战赛在瑞典瓦斯特拉的ABB企业研究院举办，聚焦实验室中重复性高强度的手工劳动自动化——具体为玻璃器皿的运输与清洁。该挑战由阿斯利康公司参与设计，邀请高校团队开发可在有人环境运行的自主机器人系统，执行如将物品放入工业洗碗机等复杂操作任务。本文综述了挑战赛设置、产业背景及四支参赛团队提出的四种不同技术路径。我们总结了本次赛事的经验教训，并提出2025年迭代改进方案。该活动填补了自主移动操作领域产学研合作的关键空白，推动实际应用场景中机器人解决方案的发展。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
The first WARA Robotics Mobile Manipulation Challenge, held in December 2024 at ABB Corporate Research in Västerås, Sweden, addressed the automation of task-intensive and repetitive manual labor in laboratory environments - specifically the transport and cleaning of glassware. Designed in collaboration with AstraZeneca, the challenge invited academic teams to develop autonomous robotic systems capable of navigating human-populated lab spaces and performing complex manipulation tasks, such as loading items into industrial dishwashers. This paper presents an overview of the challenge setup, its industrial motivation, and the four distinct approaches proposed by the participating teams. We summarize lessons learned from this edition and propose improvements in design to enable a more effective second iteration to take place in 2025. The initiative bridges an important gap in effective academia-industry collaboration within the domain of autonomous mobile manipulation systems by promoting the development and deployment of applied robotic solutions in real-world laboratory contexts.
