Subject: PAL Robotics TIAGo loan
Date: Thu, 25 May 2017 09:39:27 +0200
From: Procopio Stein <procopio.stein pal-robotics.com>
Dear European Roboticists,
PAL Robotics, as Platinum sponsor of the ERL Service Robots competition,
is offering to loan up to three TIAGo Steel robots for €650 a month,
excluding taxes. The company will also supply a fourth TIAGo Steel for
free to a team which shows outstanding expertise and innovation in their
application. The European Robotics League (ERL) is a series of
competitions taking place across Europe in different fields: ERL Service
Robots, ERL Industrial Robots and ERL Emergency Robots. ERL Service
Robots 2017 focuses on the domain of service robots for application in
the home.
Deadline for applications is 15th June 2017. Teams will be able to
collect their robots from the PAL Robotics office in Barcelona by mid-July.
The teams must compete in at least one of the tournaments of the ERL
Service Robots competition. One of those competitions will take place in
Barcelona from 17 to 26 November 2017 and will be organized by PAL
Robotics. In order to assist with transport cost and logistics, PAL
Robotics will have one TIAGo Steel unit available for teams at the
Barcelona tournament.
PAL Robotics will also deduct the paid rental fees from the €49,900 cost
of a new TIAGo Steel if any team wishes to buy and keep its platform
after the contest.
Applying for a TIAGo
· Applicants must be registered or must register to participate
in ERL Service Robots 2017.
· Teams, of up to 10, may comprise of any combination of
students, academics, industrial or public sector members. Students may
be undergraduate or postgraduate students. Inter-disciplinary teams are
encouraged.
· Team members must be based in the European Union.
· Teams might be asked to complete a simple simulation test
with TIAGo as part of the application.
· PAL Robotics encourages teams with previous experience in
robotics to apply. The teams will have to prove their potential in
autonomous navigation and control.
· Applications will be evaluated by ERL Service Robots and PAL
Robotics.
· The chosen teams will be announced on PAL Robotics’ and/or
ERL-Service Robotics’ website by the end of June. Decisions will be final.
· Applications must be sent electronically, with documents
printable on A4 paper, with margins of at least 25mm on all sides and 10
point font or larger. PDFs are preferred.
· Applications must include:
- Contact details for the team leader. University teams
must also supply contact details for an academic supervisor.
- A one-page executive summary of the application.
- The team’s motivations behind their application.
- One-page financial summary of the team’s proposed income
and spending.
- One-page CVs of the team members.
- A detailed description of the team’s specialisms and
expertise, as well as past research and other achievements (limited to
two pages).
- Videos of past achievements (with real robots or
simulators).
- Detailed descriptions of how the teams plan to use the
TIAGo Steel to fulfill the tasks in each contest scenario, and the
algorithms that will be used.
Applications must be emailed to Dr. Jordi Pages at
tiago pal-robotics.com <mailto:tiago pal-robotics.com>, with a copy sent
to Prof. Pedro Lima at pal isr.tecnico.ulisboa.pt
<mailto:pal isr.tecnico.ulisboa.pt>.
The deadline for applications is 20:00 CET on 15 June 2017.
Conditions
· Each selected team will sign a TIAGo rental contract with PAL
Robotics for a period of at least three months.
· The monthly rental fee for the TIAGo will be €650, excluding
taxes or duties.
· Each contracted team undertakes full responsibility to return
the robot in good condition at the end of the ERL Service Robots 2017
competition, or upon the request of PAL Robotics. This includes a
commitment to cover the costs of any damage or repairs, up to the full
replacement cost following complete loss of the equipment.
· Each contracted team must therefore take out their own damage
and loss insurance for the robot and associated equipment.
· The cost of the TIAGo Steel robot with sensors/actuators and
electronics is €49.900,00.
· If a team wishes to purchase its rented robot, the paid rental
payments will be deducted from the purchase price.
· Each team must have previous experience in robotics and a
minimum expertise in Robot Operating System (ROS) middleware. Each team
must prove their potential in autonomous navigation and control.
· In order to ensure teams are able to use the robot, PAL
Robotics may request that the teams demonstrate the robot’s basic
functionalities at any time during the rental period.
· Failure to participate in at least one ERL Service Robots
tournament will result in termination of the team’s rental agreement.
· Each team must use the TIAGo’s software security systems:
time-outs, joint limits, etc. Modifying or disabling the security
systems will lead to termination of the rental agreement and the return
of the robot to PAL Robotics.
· All trials must be performed in safe, enclosed areas.
