Abstract
The UChile HomeBreakers team is an effort of the Department of
Electrical Engineering of the Universidad de Chile. The team participates in the
RoboCup @Home league since 2007, and its social robot Bender obtained in
2007 and 2008 the @Home Innovation Award. Last year we obtained the 5th
place in the RoboCup competition. As a team with strong expertise in robot
vision, object recognition, and human-robot interaction, we believe that we can
provide interesting features to the league, such as: general-purpose object
recognition, face analysis tools and human-robot interfaces. This year we have
two important improvements in our social robot: the incorporation of a thermal
camera and its use in the robust detection and identification of humans, and the
use of ROS in our control library. It is also worth to mention that our robot has
been used for educational purposes with school children and as referee of robot-soccer
games.
