This week the Robocup@home team ToBi of the Faculty of Technology of the Bielefeld University is competing at the German Open in Kassel. The team consists of seven students and three scientists from CITEC. Leroy Rügemer from the COSY@Home-Lab leads the team. Dr.-Ing. Sven Wachsmuth, head of the COSY@Home-Lab, organises the @Home competition as a league chair. The competition started yesterday and the team was able to prepare for the tests today and tomorrow. This included capturing a map of the arena, recognising furniture and learning new objects and their names. The challenges for the robot today - on the first day of the competition - include storing groceries, welcoming guests, carrying a person's luggage, and understanding general service requests. The competition ends with the finals on Saturday.

New subproject launched in TTR 318 "Constructing Explanability" on social signals of understanding
When people explain something to each other, they often observe the other person's signals of incomprehension in order to adapt their explanation accordingly. In a new subproject of the Transregional Collaborative Research Centre "Constructing Explanability" (TRR 318), scientists want to make this process possible for machines as well. But the approach has its pitfalls when it comes to the interaction between man and machine.
