Dutch company Mr Van Deurzen has won an Google competition to uncover potential developments in warehouse robotics with a “ Forty -fingered” gripper and suction cup. They beat two teams from Japan and five from the US - countries better known for their robotics research - at the contest in Leipzig, Germany. The challenge first required the robots to select objects from a container, pick them up and place them on a shelf and first to perform the reverse. Delft ’s robotic arm scored highest in both challenges, coming close to a perfect score in the first challenge.
