ANOTHER AXIS TASK, BUT THIS ONE HAS A NICE LITTLE CHALLENGE.
Today I tried the โFranka- Put the Strawberry Behind the Plumโ task on Axis.
The objective sounds simple:
Pick up the strawberry and place it behind the plum.
I recorded the full process in the video so you can see exactly how I approached and completed the task.
At first glance, this feels like a basic pick and place exercise.
But the interesting part is the word "behind.โ
The robot has to understand the position of both objects and then place the strawberry in the correct relative position not just somewhere on the table.
For a human, instructions like this are completely normal.
โPut the keys behind the phone.โ
โMove the bottle next to the laptop.โ
โPlace the cup in front of the plate.โ
We understand these spatial relationships without really thinking about them.
For a robot, these simple instructions need to be translated into actual movements and positioning.
Thatโs what makes these
@axisrobotics tasks interesting to me.
While completing the task, the robotic arm creates a trajectory showing how the strawberry was approached, picked up, moved and finally placed.
Different people completing the same task can also produce different movement patterns.
Some might move directly, while others may take a slightly different path or approach the object from another angle.
That variety is important when you think about training robots for environments that arenโt perfectly predictable.
And the best part is that these tasks are based on situations that feel familiar from everyday life.
Today itโs a strawberry and a plum. Tomorrow, the same type of instruction could involve objects on a kitchen counter, desk or workspace.
Iโll keep testing more Axis tasks and sharing the process as I go.
