RoboCup@Home: Creating and Benchmarking Tomorrows Service Robot Applications

摘要

RoboCup@Home is a league that has its foundations in robotic soccer. Technologies developed in soccer are being transferred to the @Home domain and on top op these technologies @Home might be able to give some more back. To reach the goal of winning in 2050 it will be necessary to use technologies developed in the @Home league. Since @Home focuses on general artificial intelligence in real world scenarios, theories will probably be developed that are not being developed in the soccer scenarios. Especially if the brain, body and environment are considered to be a holistic system where interactions go in all directions, the environment should also be paid attention to. Therefore the soccer leagues might also want to experiment with more than the artificial cues that are available in a soccer game. Breazeal, C. L.(2002).
