The intricate dexterity of human hands presents a challenging standard for robotics. Conventional machines cannot emulate human-like dexterity and adaptability when handling diverse objects in complex environments. In this context, the EU-funded MANiBOT project aims to bridge this gap by developing bi-manual mobile robots endowed with unparalleled manipulation prowess. The project emerges as a beacon of innovation, aiming to bridge the gap between human and robotic manipulation capabilities. Confronting the complexities of handling diverse objects in ever-changing environments, this endeavour seeks to unlock a new era of bi-manual mobile robots with human-like prowess. Project outcomes will be tested across four use cases in retail and transportation sectors, addressing tasks like shelves restocking and baggage handling.
