2019 – TDP – LiU@HomeWreckers – RoboCup@Home – Social Standard Platform

This is the application for the RoboCup@Home 2019 Social Standard Platform League from the team LiU@HomeWreckers. The main research line is in human robot interaction (HRI) with the goal for the Pepper robot to engage in experiments in real Swedish homes. This research is important for the social robotics community and triggers many other research areas, such as navigation and natural language processing. With the experience from last years competition, our team will focus on increasing the HRI skills and run more local software on the Pepper robot. The upcoming year’s work will increase social acceptance of robots in the society. As a result the research team will able to work toward humanoid robots living in homes of elderly and people with cognitive disabilities.
