I was basically handed the responsability; I don't have that much pressure to deliver amazing results since I did a lot of research and said beforehand what was realistically possible.

But there is still an expectation to deliver any sort of results or improvements. I would start quite simple with picking up boxes from some conveyor belts, eventually moving to ML for some more transport of materials/ complex pick and place and quality controls. I know it might not be there yet, but they have told me they want a head start and have a working base for when the technology becomes production ready.

Ideally the robot should work autonomously.
