<br>
RoboCup@Work is a new competition in RoboCup that targets the use
of robots in work-related scenarios. <br>
<br>
RoboCup@Work aims to foster research and development that enables
use of innovative mobile robots equipped with advanced
manipulators for current and future industrial applications, where
robots cooperate with human workers for complex tasks ranging from
manufacturing, automation, and parts handling up to general
logistics. The main scientific scope of the new league is on
scalable and robust mobile manipulation inspired by real-world
industrial challenges, including navigation, object recognition,
manipulation, and planning. <br>
