The RoCKIn@Home challenge

摘要

RoCKIn is a EU-funded project aiming to foster scientific progress and innovation in cognitive systems and robotics through the design and implementation of competitions, to increase public awareness of the current state-of-the-art in robotics in Europe, and to demonstrate the innovation potential of robotics applications for solving societal challenges and improving the competitiveness of Europe in the global markets. RoCKIn develops two competitions, one for domestic service robots (RoCKIn@Home) and one for industrial robots in factories (RoCKIn@Work). The integration of benchmarking technology with the competition concept is one of the main objectives of RoCKIn.
