RoboCup 2017 – Team project
A big robotics competition
Initially solely standing for "Robot Soccer World Cup" in 1996, the RoboCup is become an international competition solving for human-centered autonomous behaviors. It is structured into 6 majors leagues and various subleagues which focus on topics such as playing soccer and providing assistance to humans in their home.
Some numbers
In 2017, the competition took place in Nagoya, Japan, where 50 countries were represented and a total of 500 participants were distributed between the existing leagues, each competing for first place in their own field! Below is a proud picture of our team, UT Austin Villa!
Working on the Human Support Robot (HSR)
Please find below a report summarizing my effort in providing tools to HSR to better understand its environment, and thus interact more efficiently with it.
Outcome
We finished 3rd place! That was an amazing team effort, loved every second of it!
Super cool video summarizing the effort
