Grand Challenge
Robotic IKEA Furniture Assembly
GC/03
Human furniture assemblers compete with AI teams in an ongoing furniture assembly challenge.
summary
Robots will attempt increasingly complex multi-part furniture builds, testing manipulation and planning at human levels.
In the first phase, competitors will assemble an IKEA RÅSKOG utility cart. This will be repeated regularly until a winning AI model is able to beat human expert benchmarks on the same task. In the second phase, more advanced furniture assembly challenges will be conducted.
