What is RoboCup@Home?
The RoboCup@Home league aims to develop service and assistive robot technology with high relevance for future personal domestic applications.
RoboCup@Home is divided in three Leagues. Two of them are Standard Platform Leagues
for which all competitors use the same robot, and one that grants complete freedom of all different types of robots.
We will participate in in the Social Standard Platform League(SSPL), which means we will use the humanoid robot Pepper from Softbank/Aldebaran.
SSPL focuses on Human-Robot Interaction, Natural Language Processing,People Detection and Recognition, Reactive Behaviors, and Safe Outdoor/Indoor Navigation and Mapping.
