Simulation Competitions on Domestic Robots

چکیده
This paper reports a series of simulation competitions on domestic robots. All of these five competitions were based on a simulation platform focused on evaluating high-level functions of a domestic robot, including task planning and dialogue understanding. The object of holding these competitions is to promote research and development of service robots while avoiding limitations imposed by hardware of real robots. We also analyze the results and performances of participating teams since the competition was first held in 2009, showing that more and more terms are participating and they are performing better and better.

In this paper, we present a thorough integration of qualitative representations and reasoning for positional information for domestic service robotics domains into our high-level robot control. In domestic settings for service robots like in the RoboCup@Home competitions, complex tasks such as “get the cup from the kitchen and bring it to the living room” or “find me this and that object in the...
متن کاملBenchmarking Intelligent Service Robots through Scientific Competitions: The RoboCup@Home Approach
The dynamical and uncertain environments of domestic service robots, which include humans, require rethinking of the benchmarking principles for testing these robots. Since 2006 RoboCup@Home has used statistical procedures to track and steer the progress of domestic service robots. This paper explains the procedures and shows outcomes of these international benchmarking efforts. Although aspect...
