eYRC 2023-24: Cosmo Logistic (CL) Theme Film

The “Cosmo Logistic” theme of eYRC 2023-24 is set in a warehouse used for inter-planet logistics from a space station. A robotic arm and mobile robot collaborate to sort and prepare packages to be transported to different planets. In this theme, teams developed an algorithm for sorting packages autonomously with the help of a robotic arm and mobile robot. Teams learnt to navigate this mobile robot with the help of SLAM (simultaneous localization and mapping) method in a warehouse, detect and localise the packages placed on racks, and manipulate the robotic arm to pick them. In stage 1 of the competition, teams completed this theme in a simulator (Gazebo) and in stage 2, they got remote access to “Real” hardware present in a “Real” warehouse at IIT Bombay.
