At the ERL Smart City competition, which took place between September 18th-21st in Milton Keynes, UK, our b-it-bots@Home team had a very successful performance with our robot Lucy and brings back multiple trophies as a result!

The team won the following challenges at the competition:

Through the Door, during which the robot had to open a hinged door and move through it.
Socially Acceptable Item Delivery, where the objective of the robot was to bring an item to a person.

As a result of the victories in these challenges, the team also won a joint best team trophy, shared with the team LASR from King's College London, UK.
