RoboCup @Home

About challenge

The RoboCup@Home league aims to develop service and assistive robot technology with high relevance for future personal domestic applications. It is the largest international annual competition for autonomous service robots and is part of the RoboCup initiative. A set of benchmark tests is used to evaluate the robot's abilities and performance in a realistic non-standardized home environment setting.

The focus lies on the following domains but is not limited to Human-Robot- Interaction and Cooperation, Navigation and Mapping in dynamic environments, Computer Vision and Object Recognition under natural light conditions, Object Manipulation, Adaptive Behaviors, Behavior Integration, Ambient Intelligence, Standardization and System Integration. It is collocated with the RoboCup symposium.

The competition consists of 2 stages (stage 1 and stage 2) and a final.

Stage 1 aims to test robot's singular capabilities such as navigation, human understanding and object manipulation
