Tech United Eindhoven @Home 2015 Team Description Paper
S. van den Dries, Den Dolech · 2015
This paper provides an overview of the main developments of the Tech United Eindhoven RoboCup@Home team. The main research eort of the past year has focused on developing a global, volumetric, object-oriented world model. This world model should replace all world representations that are commonly present in an architecture, e.g., for navigation and manipulation. As a result, these modules can benet from the additional knowledge that is present in the world model. This world modeling approach is expected to i) make modules such as navigation more robust since these can benet from the additional knowledge that is present in the world model and ii) reduce the amount of hardcoded knowledge that is commonly present.
