Testbed

Leon@Home testbed main purpose is to benchmark service robots functionalities and tasks in a realistic home environment. The testbed is made up by three parts: a mock-up apartment, a control zone with direct vision (glass wall) to the apartment, a small workshop and a larger development zone where researchers work.

Apartment

Leon@Home Testbed is located in the second floor of the Modulo de Investigación en Cibernética in the Universidad de León campus of Vegazana, León (Spain).

The apartment is a single bedroom home in a 8m x 7m space. It is divided into a Kitchen, living room, bathroom and a bedroom.

The Leon@Home Testbed furniture has been designed to test different robot abilities. For instance, kitchen cabinets have different types of handlers.
