About Challenge
RoboCup Malaysia Hackathon: @Home Education is an educational initiative that promotes educational efforts to boost participation and artificial intelligence(AI)-focused service robot development. The focus is on team growth with various adjustments made for educational purposes.
Hackathon
The Hackathon format helps beginners develop service robots and learn AI effectively. It's open to everyone, promoting education and participation. Challenges happen at different levels: national, regional (Asia-Pacific, Europe, Americas), and international (usually at RoboCup).
Robot Platform and Categories
There are 2 types of robot platforms in the Education Challenge:
Open Platform (OP): teams create their own robots for the challenge, focusing on hardware and software.
Standard Platform (SP): teams use the Pepper robot from SoftBank Robotics for the challenge. The focus is primarily on software design.
Under each platform, it is further divided into Open category for any age level of participants, and Junior category for teams with all members under 19 years old.

Team Poster & Presentation
All teams are required to prepare a team poster introducing their own team technical development in the A1 size poster at the beginning of the event.
Skip Rule
Skip rule purpose helps teams tackle tough parts of a task by allowing them to skip ahead.
Encourages attempting tasks.
Teams cannot go back and retry it, they have to keep moving forward.
Simplify Rule
Purpose of the simplified rule help teams tackle tough challenges by completing a part of the task under easier conditions.
Point reduction is usually 50% less for using the simplify rule.
Organizers set limits on how many simplification teams can use and teams must declare which ones they are using before starting the test.
Finals: Presentation and Demonstration
Objective:
The robot helps a person who has had a small accident in their home.
The robot monitors a person as they go about their day and responds if it sees anything unusual.
Tasks
Carry My Luggage
(Navigation Task)
Robots need to navigate autonomously to carry luggage from one point to another within a specified environment. The challenge involves efficient and safe navigation.
Find My Mates
(Vision Task)
Robots use computer vision to locate and recognize specific objects or “mates” within their surroundings. This task tests the robots ability to identify and interact with objects based on visual information.
Receptionist
(Speech Task)
Robots engage in speech-related tasks, acting as receptionists. This includes understanding and responding to spoken commands or questions. The challenge assesses the robot's ability to comprehend and generate human-like speech interactions.
