Robocup@Home
RoboCup At Home is an annual World Championship competition in which on-line, real-time, autonomous robots must interact with humans in an "at home" environment. It provides a real-time no-tricks testing challenge that will bring our academic research into the real world.
Humanoid robots will increasingly interact with humans in the everyday, at home level. Here we describe the physical and software configuration of our humanoid platform which is being developed in this context of human – robot cooperation. The research strategy is to use high quality commercially available robot platforms, and software for sensory-motor control, vision, and spoken language processing, in order to provide a high performance baseline system. From this baseline we then implement human-robot cooperation capabilities inspired by contemporary results in human cognitive development research. Because much of the technology that we use is off-the-shelf it is robust, versatile and reusable.
