Testing in a realistic home
The team has taken part in the European Robotics League since it began and is pleased with its performance. Compared with the lab’s orderly setting, the competition home introduces uncertainty, such as objects being in unexpected places. Testing there helps the team assess robots in conditions closer to actual homes.

Making robots work in everyday settings
The participant says service robots need to handle real household tasks, work reliably, interact with people, and identify objects. The number and variety of tasks make this a substantial engineering challenge.

Rapid progress with TIAGo
The team had received TIAGo only a month earlier and had already made progress with object creation and navigation. The participant sees room to accomplish more as development continues.
- 1:53
Connecting robotics capabilities
The development approach brings together areas that have often been handled separately, including computer vision and natural language processing. The goal is to connect these capabilities so robots can solve tasks more effectively.

Learning through participation
A computer engineering student describes the event as a chance to encounter robotics work not typically included in their degree. They encourage anyone with the opportunity to take part.
