Towards Robust Mobility, Flexible Object Manipulation, and Intuitive Multimodal Interaction for Domestic Service Robots.
Abstract
In this paper, we detail the contributions of our team NimbRo to the RoboCup @Home league in 2011. We explain design and rationale of our domestic service robot Cosero that we used for the first time in a competition in 2011. We demonstrated novel capabilities in the league such as real-time table-top segmentation, flexible grasp planning, and real-time tracking of objects. We also describe our approaches to humanrobot cooperative manipulation and 3D navigation. Finally, we report on the use of our approaches and the performance of our robots at RoboCup 2011.
