Our great team "homer" meanwhile arrived in Sidney to compete in the RoboCup@home world championship to defend its title! https://userpages.uni-koblenz.de/~robbie/news/arrival-in-sydney/
Unfortunately, the main robot "Tiago", although shipped weeks ahead by a renowned shipping company, arrived days late and with considerable damages. Let's hope the best for the team to get around these obstacles!

Another big success for our team Homer, scoring a Top-3 position in a competition against top research and company teams in Japan. Congratz!

We won 300.000

… Yen :) In the Customer Interaction Task yesterday we made the third place. We are very happy about that our proposal for the handling of a Future Convenience Store was accepted that good. When you convert the amount into Euro it’s about 2.321,15 Euro. Not that much but it is a starting point for the next robot competition and may we are able to acquire an upgraded hardware part of it. We were really happy after the announcement also because the competing teams were really good and we were competing against leading Japanese research institutes and companies as well. Ivanna who was contributing the majority of ideas for the scenario was really happy about the success.

Our RoboCup@home team "Homer" did it again! After their first title in 2015 they won the world championship 2017 in Nagoya, Japan. AGAS congratulates all members of Homer for their fantastic success, making our robots blue Lisa and purple Lisa shine in the competition. You are the best!

We won! After more than half a year of preparation it's done, we did it again. After one week of a borderline living in term of sleep and stress we won. Both Lisa`s behaved in the finals and therefore we have shown multiple things. First we analyzed a face and estimated the viewpoint of a person in…
