Amazon's annual competition for picking perfect robots that could one day work in the company warehouses crowned the latest champion in its robotic picking challenge. Competitors were asked to handle a wide range of products from toiletries to clothes and then evaluated on the basis of speed and precision in stocking shelves. The contest was won by a joint team from the TU Delft Robotics Institute in the Netherlands and the company Delft Robotics. The robot developed by Team Delft managed to pick items from a mock Amazon warehouse shelf at a rate of 100 per hour. The failure rate noted was 16.7%.
