AI for Industry Challenge

The AI for Industry Challenge is an open competition for developers and roboticists who want to tackle some of the hardest, high-impact problems that exist in robotics and manufacturing. Win a share of $180,000 prize pool.

About

Join the challenge Electronic assembly - cable and wire handling ‍ The AI for Industry Challenge targets a high-value bottleneck in modern manufacturing: electronics assembly. More specifically dexterous cable management and insertion, which today is a manual, repetitive process. In terms of robotics, this task is notoriously difficult due to the complex physics of flexible cables and the precision required to see, handle and carefully insert connectors. Train an AI model using open-source simulators (e.g., Isaac Sim, MuJoCo, Gazebo), leveraging ROS for communication. This is your opportunity to bridge the sim-to-real gap and make real progress against a very real problem. 
 Finalists will deploy their models from simulation to a physical workcell which will be hosted at Intrinsic’s HQ. The top five solutions and teams win a share of the $180,000 prize pool
