    Tidying up a household environment using a mobile manipulator poses various challenges in robotics, such as adaptation to large real-world environmental variations, and safe and robust deployment in the presence of humans.The Partner Robot Challenge in World Robot Challenge (WRC) 2020, a global competition held in September 2021, benchmarked tidying tasks in the real home environments, and importantly, tested for full system performances.For this challenge, we developed an entire household service robot system, which leverages a data-driven approach to adapt to numerous edge cases that occur during the execution, instead of classical manual pre-programmed solutions. In this paper, we describe the core ingredients of the proposed robot system, including visual recognition, object manipulation, and motion planning. Our robot system won the second prize, verifying the effectiveness and potential of data-driven robot systems for mobile manipulation in home environments

    Mestrado em ESTG-IPBOmni directional mobile robots have been popularly employed in several applications, especially in soccer player robots considered in Robocup competitions. Actually, the popular optimized robots are using three wheels in the mechanical structure. This situation brings the idea of omnidirectional robot at manufacturing. To design the omnidirectional wheels mobile robot respecting the requirement specifications of the factory lite competition, it’s recommended to design and optimize the proposed solution using Solidworks tool. To design a mobile robot using four omni wheels, it’s important to implement suspension system for each wheel. The suspension system will help the programmer when implementing the PID parameters and test the robot. Such a robot can respond more quickly and it would be capable of more sophisticated behaviors such as to transport materials and placed on processing machine and outgoing warehouses. This thesis has tried to focus the description of four wheel omnidirectional mobile robot to be applied to the Factory Lite competition

    Hibikino-Musashi@Home 2023 Team Description Paper

    Full text link
    This paper describes an overview of the techniques of Hibikino-Musashi@Home, which intends to participate in the domestic standard platform league. The team has developed a dataset generator for the training of a robot vision system and an open-source development environment running on a human support robot simulator. The robot system comprises self-developed libraries including those for motion synthesis and open-source software works on the robot operating system. The team aims to realize a home service robot that assists humans in a home, and continuously attend the competition to evaluate the developed system. The brain-inspired artificial intelligence system is also proposed for service robots which are expected to work in a real home environment
