COMPETITIONS
IROS 2012 Competitions
By Pedro Lima and Rui Cortesão
T
he 2012 IEEE/Robotics Society
of Japan International Conference on Intelligent Robots and
Systems (IROS 2012) was held in
Vilamoura, Portugal, 7-12 October. For
the first time in IROS history (IROS is
now celebrating its 25th anniversary), the
conference program included robot
competitions. The selected challenge was
the recently created RoboCup@Work,
currently a demonstration league at
RoboCup.
In RoboCup@Work, robot manipulators mounted on mobile platforms perform complex
industrial tasks.
For the first time in

competitions.
High-level performance on
the manipulation side, coordinated with navigation
tasks, makes RoboCup@Work a challenging competition, requiring multidisciplinary teams.
From 7 to 11 October, three teams
composed of 19 team members (professors and Ph.D. and M.Sc. students as
well as postdoctoral researchers)
applied their technical solutions to the
current RoboCup@Work tasks. These
