[robocup-worldwide] [news] HEART-MET competition on activity and gesture recognition, object detection and handover failure detection

[Santosh Thoduka]

We would like to invite you to participate in the HEART-MET Cascade
campaign,  which consists of four different challenges: activity
recognition, gesture recognition, object detection and handover failure
detection.

The challenges are based on datasets collected from robots performing
each of the functionalities in home-like environments . The robots
require these functionalities when operating in an assistive capacity
for persons who have care needs at home or in a care facility.

Competition Phases and Dates:

All the challenges consist of two phases: validation and competition.

  * Validation Phase:   8th April 2021 to 15th May 2021
  * Competition Phase: 15th May 2021 to 31st May 2021

During the validation phase, you are provided with a subset of the
dataset to test your algorithms. During the competition phase, the final
competition dataset is used to evaluate your submissions. Final rankings
are based on the results in the competition phase.

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.
