2019
RoboCup@Home is an international robotics competition based on domestic
tasks requiring autonomous capabilities pertaining to a large variety of AI
technologies. Research challenges are motivated by these tasks both at the
level of individual technologies and the integration of subsystems into a
fully functional, robustly autonomous system. We describe the progress made
by the UT Austin Villa 2019 RoboCup@Home team which represents a significant
step forward in AI-based HRI due to the breadth of tasks accomplished within
a unified system. Presented are the competition tasks, component
technologies they rely on, our initial approaches both to the components and
their integration, and directions for future research.
