Use AI To Win Big Prizes in The OpenCV Perception Challenge, sponsored by Intrinsic

Today we're excited to announce a different type of competition than we’ve done in the past: The Perception Challenge For Bin-Picking , sponsored by Intrinsic , a new computer vision & AI competition designed to tackle real-world robotics problems. This is your opportunity to compete and showcase your skills to a global audience, all while competing for a share of $60,000 in prizes! Read on to find out the rules and deadlines.

What is bin-picking? Bin picking is a robotics task that involves a camera and robotic arm or manipulator selecting individual objects from a container (often referred to as a bin) and moving them to a specific location or orientation. It is widely used in industries such as manufacturing, logistics, and warehousing to automate processes like sorting, assembly, and packaging.

Why Join?

This challenge is about putting your computer vision, AI, and robotics expertise to the test in real-world scenarios. Unlike previous OpenCV competitions, the goal here is well-defined, with your task being to create the most accurate results. Using Intrinsic’s open-source datasets and a remotely operated robotic workcell powered by the Intrinsic platform, you’ll develop cutting-edge solutions for challenging 6DoF pose estimation and robot motion tasks.

Unlike traditional competitions, we’re evaluating your algorithms being used live with a robot-in-the-loop, offering a more realistic and industrial type assessment of their success.

  • Don’t worry if you aren’t familiar with this type of vision task. We’ll explain more and provide example code in advance to people who register for the competition of the February 1st official opening for submissions. Don’t miss out: register today !

The Prizes

  • 1st (Grand Prize Winner): $18,000
  • 2nd (Grand Prize Runner-Up): $12,000
  • 3rd Place: $8,000
  • 4th Place: $4,000
  • 5th Place: $3,000
  • 6th to 10th Place: $1,000
  • Special Prize for Best One-shot Solution: $10,000

Key Dates

All deadlines are 11:59 pm (Pacific Time)

  • Today — Competition Registration Begins
  • February 1, 2025 — First Phase of Competition Begins
  • May 1, 2025 — Top 5 Teams Announced & Elite Phase Begins
  • May 22, 2025 — Live Bin-Picking Challenge on OpenCV Webinar
  • June 10, 2025 — Final Winners Awarded @ CVPR 2025

How It Works

Participants will submit their solutions as Docker images for evaluation in test environments. Leaderboards will update in real-time on the official website, tracking accuracy and efficiency metrics.

This challenge is open for registration starting today. Please note: participation is restricted to countries not subject to sanctions from the United States of America, and prizes are restricted to participants who are not affiliated with OpenCV.org, OpenCV.AI, OpenCV University (Big Vision LLC), Alphabet, Orbbec, University of Hawaii, or the organizers of the BOP Challenge. Please note that if you are affiliated with any of the mentioned organizations, you can still participate in the challenge but will not be eligible for prizes.

Watch The Announcement Webinar


We invited Vahe from the Intrinsic team to announce this new challenge on an episode of OpenCV Live last week, where we revealed the prizes, the challenge, and took questions from the audience.
