During the webinar we will introduce the METRICS project
(https://nam12.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fmetricsproject.eu%2F&data=04%7C01%7Crobocup-worldwide%40cc.gatech.edu%7C1ef58acefc4c4de0b09b08d8cc5fec55%7C482198bbae7b4b258b7a6d7f32faa083%7C0%7C0%7C637484059659825107%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C1000&sdata=ohxYMk0gc0MJZ5%2BfLN7kOIY7Z6hc2KqQBOHgYtRJHWA%3D&reserved=0), and the HEART-MET competition. Interested
teams, sponsors and other roboticists are invited to attend.

Speakers:

  * Guilluame Avrin [The National Laboratory for Metrology and Testing
    (LNE)]
  * Prof. Nico Hochgeschwender [Hochschule Bonn-Rhein-Sieg]
  * Prof. Mauro Dragone [Heriot-Watt University]
  * Prof. Praminda Caleb-Solly [University of the West of England, Bristol]
  * Prof. Filippo Cavallo [Università degli Studi di Firenze]

HEART-MET (Healthcare Robotics Technologies - Metrified) is part of the
METRICS project funded by the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and
innovation program.

The competition** aims to address the growing age-related healthcare
costs and quality of life problems, which threaten the stability and
safety of the social security systems in charge of paying and
maintaining high quality of healthcare. It addresses tasks that may
directly impact the user's well-being, in a complex and unstructured
domestic environment. This implies the use of a wide variety of
functionalities, and requires a strict validation of the safety of the
robotic behaviours.

The robots are evaluated on functionalities such as object detection,
gesture and activity recognition, robot-human and human-robot object
handover, which are required to complete tasks such as assessing the
activity state of a person, delivery household items to a person and
preparing and transporting a drink. The field campaigns will be
conducted at certified test-beds with physical robots, whereas the
cascade campaigns will be conducted online, where performance is
evaluated on datasets collected during the field campaigns.
