CATIE Robotics
Portée par le centre aquitain de transfert technologique CATIE, l'équipe CatieRobotics va se confronter à la ligue @Home à Sydney en 2019. Emmenée par Rémi Fabre et Sébastien Loty, en quelques mois, elle a d'ores et déjà passé la barre des qualifications.
As a technology transfer center, the CATIE organization has a broad set of skills and strong ties with engineer schools, laboratories and high tech startups. CATIE robotics was created in early 2018, the team aims to explore service robotics from an application-driven perspective and benefits from the multidisciplinary environment it lives in.
Motivation
One of the team’s goals is to participate in the RoboCup @Home competition. The RoboCup competition is a way to objectively measure progress, expose it to a broad audience and gather an international community.
At a local scope, creating a robotics team is also a way of uniting people from various scientific horizons towards a very pragmatic, tangible goal.
Achievements, current state and near future
In early 2018, we chose the ROS based robot TIAGo from PAL Robotics as the main development platform. The robot was received in August 2018 and renamed Epock.Since then, promising results have been achieved during 5 major robotics competitions: RoboCup @Home German Open 2019 (2nd place), RoboCup @Home Sidney 2019 (3rd place), SciRoc Challenge (2nd place), (virtual) RoboCup @Home 2021 (2nd place) and RoboCup @Home Bordeaux (3rd place)
A working pipeline of speech to text, Natural Language Understanding (NLU) and speech synthesis has been integrated and succesfully tested in the difficult environment of RoboCup challenges.
