Norri Kageki writes, "Thank you very much for picking up the ROBO-ONE
Helper Robot Project on your robot competition FAQ. I did go
see the competition and you can read
an update in my blog". Norri has posted a detailed, four part
blog post with video and photos of the ROBO-ONE Helper event, in which
humanoid robots had to walk around in a real shopping mall and attempt
to make purchases of real products from real vendors. While the robots
were teleoperated over a WiFi link and not autonomous, the exercise
shows what the hardware is capable of. The video included here shows
Aero-Blue, a robot developed by Team CAP Project, as it pushes a
shopping cart and purchases a white purse. Be sure to check out Norri's
blog to see lots
more photos and videos of the other winning robots.
