We are happy to announce that Qualifier 3 is now open for the Agile Robotics for Industrial Automation Competition (ARIAC)! ARIAC is a simulation-based competition is designed to promote agility in industrial robot systems by utilizing the latest advances in artificial intelligence and robot planning. The goal is to enable industrial robots on the shop floors to be more productive, more autonomous, and to require less time from shop floor workers.

You can learn more about the competition here. The top performing teams will be invited to present at a workshop held during IROS 2017 in Vancouver. So far we have completed Qualifiers 1 and 2, highlights of which you can see here:
