Announcements

As per Re-Imagining RoboCup the 2025 competition was the last to feature two separate sub-leagues. We move to a single, unified RoboCup@Home league. Former DSPL participants are encouraged to join the unified OPL.

The Stage system is (mostly) abandoned, all teams participate in the every tasks (Participation in the Final is still limited to the top teams). The Restaurant task depends on the local setting and participation may require prior registration and/or qualification based on scored points.

Changelog

  • #998 Update GPSR
    • Add rephrasing by llm and corresponding rulings.
    • Removed non-expert operator as rephrasing is now included.
  • #999 Update Final
    • Just add rulings - Final still uses old EGPSR Task Rulings
  • #994: New Task Pick and Place Challenge
    • Combines aspects of Storing Groceries, Serve Breakfast and Clean the Table
    • Robot is free to choose what parts to solve.
  • #995: Rename Receptionist → Human Robot Interaction Challenge
    • Removed predetermined list of names and drinks; now any English name can be chosen.
    • Removed drink location requirement, as object recognition is not the task focus.
    • Added a short following (“help me carry”) procedure at the end.
    • Added doorbell/knock recognition.
  • #997: Removed QR codes from Rulebook.
    • Showing QR code is too unnatural.
    • added clarifications to natural alternative HRI (i.e. touchscreens)
  • #990: New Restart Rule
    • A restart no longer requires requeuing. Instead the team immediately continues with the second attempt.
    • Test time continues running, and the team must resume the test within 1 minute.
    • All points scored before the restart are voided.
  • #990: Remove Stage system
    • The stage system was removed to simplify the competition format.
    • Previously, only a subset of teams advanced to later stages, which limited participation and reduced the number of runs per team. In the new format, all teams compete in the same set of tasks across multiple days, ensuring more consistent evaluation.
    • The new structure also allows teams to demonstrate progress and improve their performance over the course of the competition.
    • The number of tasks was reduced to four (repeated each day) plus the Restaurant test.
      • Removed EGPSR
      • Removed Help me Carry
    • A goal is to reduce unnecessary repetition of skills across tasks, making each task more meaningful and distinct.
  • #987: Merge both leagues - Remove DSPL.
    • A single, unified RoboCup@Home league takes effect immediately.
