“…Successful picking rate as shown in [14,16] or wellknown cycle time 3 is an important metric to evaluate the system performance in practical use. Mean Picks Per Hour (MPPH) [22] is also a well-used metric [12,24], which is related to both picking rate and picking time.…”

“…Then, the need for the next-generation production system is said to be speeding up for production changeover or switching, re-usability of production system bodies, autonomous improvement of production speed and quality, and unmanned operation time by autonomous error recovery and operation learning [2,3]. Though these factors are not included in the Amazon Robotics Challenge, it is expected that competition rules are formulated and implemented to compare these factors in future competitions.…”

Bin picking is still a challenge in robotics, as patent in recent robot competitions. These competitions are an excellent platform for technology comparisons since some participants may use state-of-theart technologies, while others may use conventional ones. Nevertheless, even though points are awarded or subtracted based on the performance in the frame of the competition rules, the final score does not directly reflect the suitability of the technology. Therefore, it is difficult to understand which technologies and their combination are optimal for various real-world problems. In this paper, we propose a set of performance metrics selected in terms of actual field use as a solution to clarify the important technologies in bin picking. Moreover, we use the selected metrics to compare our four original robot systems, which achieved the best performance in the Stow task of the Amazon Robotics Challenge 2017. Based on this comparison, we discuss which technologies are ideal for practical use in bin picking robots in the fields of factory and warehouse automation.

The World Robot Summit (WRS) is a robotic 'challenge and exposition' organized by the Japanese government to accelerate social implementation, research and development of robots working in realistic daily life, society, and industrial fields. In this paper, we introduce a robot competition of the Industrial Robotics Category of the WRS, called 'Assembly Challenge', which is organized by the WRS Industrial Robotics Competition Committee in order to promote the development of the next-generation production systems that can respond to new production demands in agile and lean manners. Prior to the main competition in 2020, a pre-competition was held in 2018 with 16 participating teams from around the world. In this paper, we introduce the contents and results of this pre-competition, analyze the results, and give a perspective for the 2020 main competition.
