Dear Sara,<br>
thank you for your question. I take this opportunity to answer to
all RoboCuppers.<br>
<br>
Since 2017, there will be three competitions in RoboCup@Home:<br>
- Open platform: any platform is allowed<br>
- Softbanks Pepper (*): only Softbank Pepper robots<br>
- Toyota HSR (*): only Toyota HSR robots<br>
<br>
(*) names of these competitions are still under discussion.<br>
<br>
A call for participation will be issued soon through the
RoboCup@Home mailing list<br>
and in the web sites, with more information about the rules and how
to apply.<br>
<br>
We plan to keep the same organization at least for 2018 and 2019.<br>
<br>
Best regards,<br>
Luca.<div><div class="h5"><br>

<div>Dear Colleagues,</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div><font face="arial narrow, sans-serif">We
have a team from Montreal who is preparing to participate at
the international event next year once again. It just came
to our attention from the RoboCup.org website that the new
@Home standard platform robot would be Softbanks Pepper. </font><span style="font-family:"arial narrow",sans-serif"><a href="http://www.robocup.org/2016/07/toyota-and-softbank-robotics-are-selected-for-home-standard-platform/" target="_blank"></a><a href="http://www.robocup.org/2016/07/toyota-and-softbank-robotics-are-selected-for-home-standard-platform/" target="_blank">http://www.robocup.<wbr>org/2016/07/toyota-and-<wbr>softbank-robotics-are-<wbr>selected-for-home-standard-<wbr>platform/</a>
</span><span>It states that the first
demonstration will be in Nagoya 2017. </span></div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>What would that mean
for the international competition in 2018? Are all teams
expected to use a Pepper robot or will the team be permitted
to build their own robot once again going forward?</div>
<div><br>
</div>

<div>Thank you for the
clarification,</div>
