Project Summary

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

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

Robot

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

Robot Hardware

1. iRobot Roomba
2. Dinamixel Arm (5x12a)
3. wood frame (yes, it is made with wood)
4. Notebook (Atom processor) (display+computer are separeted)
5. Kinect
6. Arduino Mega

Robot Software

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

Proposal

Phase I: Initial Setup

Hardware Preparation

Software Preparation

Environment setup

Ros Debug Techniques

Phase II: Integration and Architecture

Non-Critical (but to-do)

1. Android/iOS Teleoperation
2. Desktop Qt interface
3. Create robot model for Gazebo
4. Create robot model for rviz (the same as Gazebo?)
