RoboCup at Work 2016
Test Competition and Development Workshop
-------------------------------------------------------------
28. April – 1. May 2016, Magdeburg, Germany
-------------------------------------------------------------

The "@Work Test Competition and Development Workshop" provides an
evaluation platform under competition conditions. For all RoboCup at Work
teams this is especially interesting due to the large number of
extensions and adjustments in the rule book. The new challenges and
infrastructure components will move the league towards more realistic
scenarios, and encompass in particular:
- new tasks and scenarios (round table, conveyor belt),
- additional modules of an automated referee system,
- a new interface to illustrate background information for visitors, and
- additional automated networked devices (automated doors).

The rules of RoboCup at Work 2016 as well as further technical details will
be posted on the RoboCup at Work website on the January 15, 2016.

Students and researchers, who have an interest in entering the
RoboCup at Work league, are invited to apply for the Workshop. All teams
that intend to participate have to prepare a team POSTER (A0) and to
send a digital copy to zug at ovgu.de until February 5, 2016 including:
- general information like name of the team, team members, link to the
team web site and contact information and
- conceptual information regarding hardware and software, a description
of current developments/research interests, including an image of the
robot(s).
The RoboCup at Work TC will rank the teams according to the qualification
material provided. The participation is free for all teams.
Additionally, the organizers offer travel support for up to 4 teams.
