Project Summary

This challenge focuses on domestic service robots. The project aims to create robots with enhanced networking and cognitive abilities. They should be able to perform useful tasks such as helping the impaired and the elderly (one of the main goals of our group).

In the initial stages of the competition, individual robots will begin by overcoming basic individual tasks, such as navigating through the rooms of a house, manipulating objects or recognizing faces, and then coordinating to handle house-keeping tasks simultaneously, some of them under natural interaction with humans.

Robot

We want to take part in RoCKIn with the platform developed during the last two years in the Catedra Telefónica-ULE.

Robot Hardware

1. iRobot Roomba 520
2. Dinamixel Arm (5x12a)
3. Wooden frame (yes, it is made of wood)
4. Notebook (Atom processor) (the display has been taken apart from the main body)
5. Kinect
6. Arduino Mega

Robot Software

1. ROS (robot control)
2. MYRA (C/C++, ArUCo, Qt, openCV)

RoCKIn 2014 Outline

Proposal

We want to develop and deploy minimal functional abilities to be part of RoCKIn 2014.

• Navigation
• Mapping
• People recognition
• Person tracking
• Object recognition
• Object manipulation
• Speech recognition
• Gesture recognition
• Cognition

We are going to separate the development in three phases:

1. Phase I: Initial Setup
2. Phase II: Integration and architecture
3. Phase III: Platform test
4. Phase IV: Improvements and complex tasks
   1. Technical Challenge: Furniture-type Object perception
   2. Open Challenge: Exhibit and demonstrate the most important (scientific) achievements

Phase I: Initial Setup

Outline: Tasks developed in this phase

Phase II: Integration and Architecture

Outline: Tasks developed in this phase

Phase III: Platform test

Simulator

WARNING: This part is still in Spanish, please feel free to ask if you have any doubt.

Non-Critical (but to-do)

1. Android/iOS Teleoperation
2. Desktop Qt interface (WIP)
