NASA Challenge: Develop 3D Models for Robonaut Simulation-Small Soft Goods Box

  • Status: Closed
  • Prize: $75
  • Entries Received: 9
  • Winner: samar9

Contest Brief

We (NASA) need to develop a number of high resolution 3D models to be used for Robonaut simulations. These 3D models are to be developed based on photographs of real items (see attached files). These simulated objects would be used for various grasp and manipulator testing.

This particular challenge is to build a 3D model of a small soft goods box. This is a copy of an item that was shipped up to the Space Station with R2. This is representative of possible small soft goods objects that may be a part of R2's tasks on the ground or on station. It will be used to develop vision and grasping controls to increase R2's ability to interact with non-rigid, compliant objects in its workspace.

There is a scale in the attached imagery is in inches. All final model submissions must be delivered in on of the following formats: .prt (Solidworks, ProE); .step or .stp; .iges; .stl; .dae. NOTE: Freelancer submissions will need to be image file views of your model. If you win the contest, you will then send/transfer the model files to NASA via email, dropbox, etc.

All entries will be judged on the accuracy, quality, and fidelity (detail) of the model produced. Note that where highly similar top submissions are produced, the submission entered first will win.

Employer Feedback

“Again, Samar9 did an outstanding job of creating a very detailed 3D model of a small soft goods box for use in our NASA Robonaut simulation. This was the 2nd of our NASA contests that Samar9 has won.”

    Thanks for all of the amazing entries for this contest. We will be working over the next few days to evaluate them all and select the winner.

    Per an earlier posted question: We were not expecting anything beyond a static mesh with the strap taking an arbitrary form.

      so that means that the strap must be flexible, right?

      No, it does not need to be a flexible mesh.

    Quick question for the community. Do you prefer submissions for this kind of a contest to be sealed or unsealed?

    Maybe due to the fact that English is not my native language, I could really use some further explanation or re-phrase on the following part of the briefing: "It will be used to develop vision and grasping controls to increase R2's ability to interact with non-rigid, compliant objects in its workspace." If something like that is against your policy, then please accept my apologies for asking!

      No apologies necessary. We are going to be using a virtual environment to develop and test algorithms for identifying and grasping tools. There is a bit more to it, but that is basically why we are having objects from the physical testbed virtualized. Great question! Thanks for your interest.

      Ah... thanks for the clarification. Rajank, For this task we are doing a full challenge rather than a direct task. Thanks for the offer.
