RoCKIn Project Description

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.

Mountain Prototype

MountainBot Robot Prototype.

Thanks to our sponsor MOUNTAIN, we have developed a light version of MYRABot. This robot runs using the Mountain prototype which has a touch screen. The main feature of this prototype is the ability of its display for rotating 360 degrees. It can flips around and the prototype can be transformed into a tablet.
