b-it bots win European Robotics League Award

RoboCup team b-it bots just completed a very successful first season of the European Robotics League and finished first in the category navigation functionality with their @Work team.

The European Robotics League (ERL) announced the winners of ERL Service and Industrial Robots (Season 2016/17), during the euRobotics Awards Ceremony held on 23 March, at the National Museum of Scotland in Edinburgh.

A total of 31 teams from around the world have participated in this first season of ERL; 23 teams in ERL Service Robots and 8 teams in ERL Industrial Robots. Five local tournaments and two major tournaments have taken place during ERL Season 2016/17 in Portugal, Italy, Spain and Germany (at Hochschule Bonn-Rhein-Sieg).

The b-it bots team came in first in the industrial robots contest for navigation functionality. Congratulations!

The European Robotics League

The ERL is the natural evolution of a series of highly successful previous competitions that were established via FP7 funded projects: RoCKIn, euRathlon and EuRoC.  All three projects aimed to foster scientific progress and innovation in cognitive systems and robotics through the design and implementation of new competitions.

The European Robotics League is funded by the European Union’s Horizon 2020 Programme for research, technological development and demonstration under grant agreement n° 688441.
