Joint SPQReL Team getting ready for RoboCup 2017
The joint SPQReL RoboCup team is getting ready to participate and compete in the RoboCup@Home Social Standard Platform League in RoboCup WorldCup 2017 in Nagoya, Japan, next week.
The team is formed by two research groups:
-
- Cognitive Cooperating Robots (RoCoCo) Lab at Sapienza University of Rome, Italy
- Lincoln Centre for Autonomous Systems (L-CAS) at University of Lincoln, UK.
SPQReL stems from the pseudo-Latin term “Socialis robot PopulusQue Romanus et Lindensis” that can be translated as “Social robot and people from Rome and Lincoln”, referring to the Roman city of Lindum (which is now Lincoln).
We are all looking forward to some “hacky” days in Japan and meeting all the other teams.
