Practical evaluation of home service robots through a robot competition
As fundamental research, we study robot hardware and development environments to propose functions for practical home service robots and robot usage. As applied research, we aim to establish a standard test method for service robot competitions using competition tasks in RoboCup.

RoboCup@Home Simulation DSPL
Although the skills required to solve isolated robotics problems are reaching amazing performances recently, we proposed the evaluation of such individual solutions in fully integrated robot systems tested in real daily situations like those presented at international robotics competitions. The simulation Domestic Standard Platform League (sDSPL), which utilizes the HSR simulator developed for the World Robot Summit, surges from the necessity to standardise and spread the research on Domestic Service Robots where a series of solutions can be tested to solve a general-purpose task in a standard domestic environment; this approach has been proven successful at several international competitions, namely, the RoboCup Japan Open, the Mexican Tournament of Robotics, and the RoboCup 2021.
