About RoboCup at Home
--------------------------

RoboCup at Home is a new league inside the RoboCup competitions. It focuses on
real-world applications and human-machine interaction with autonomous
robots. The aim is to foster the development of useful robotic applications
that can assist humans in everyday life.

The league consists of a series of independent tests. The test scenario will
be a home environment. The tests will change over the years to become more
advanced. Performance measurement is based on a score derived from
competition rules and evaluation by a jury.

RoboCup at Home will be held for the first time at the RoboCup competitions
2006 in Bremen.

-------------
Test Criteria
-------------

RoboCup at Home is a framework consisting of tests increasing in complexity
over the years. Criteria of the tests are listed below.

The tests should:
- include human machine interaction
- be socially relevant
- be application directed/oriented
- be scientifically challenging
- be easy to set up and low in costs
- be simple and have self-explaining rules
- be interesting to watch
- take a small amount of time

Suggestions for new tests or changes in existing tests should fulfill as
many of these criteria as possible. In the first year (2006 in
Bremen) there will be four tests with focus on different research areas.

---------------------
Call for Contribution
---------------------

Interested research groups are asked to contribute in the discussion about
the implementation of the proposed tests, the suggestion of additional
tests, the forming of joined teams and the possible participation in the
league via the RoboCup at Home email list.
Interested groups are asked to pre-register until the 28th of October 2005.
Final rules will be published after the pre-registration phase.
