Team Homer@UniKoblenz — Approaches and Contributions to the RoboCup@Home Competition

摘要

In this paper we present the approaches and contributions of team homer@UniKoblenz that were developed for and applied during the RoboCup@Home competitions. In particular, we highlight the different abstraction layers of our software architecture that allows for rapid application development based on the ROS actionlib. This architectural design enables us to focus on the development of new algorithms and approaches and significantly helped us in winning the RoboCup@Home competition in 2015. We further give an outlook on recently published open-source software for service robots that can be downloaded from our ROS package repository on http://wiki.ros.org/agas-ros-pkg .
