BEIJING, July 26 -- Robots designed by the University of Science and Technology of Chinaamazed the audience and won the championship for the first time at the RoboCup, whichconcluded on Friday in Joao Pessoa, Brazil.
Recognized for their stability and precision, the robots of USTC's WrightEagle team -dubbed Kejia - won top honors in the RoboCup@Home league, one of several leagues at theglobal competition, officially known as the 2014 Robot World Cup Initiative.
Kejia achieved a historical mark of 8,555 points, 3,600 higher than the second-place team,after running through a set of benchmark tests. The tests are used to evaluate a robot'sabilities in a realistic, non-standardized home environment - the first stage of thecompetition.
Following the benchmark tests, the robots wowed the audience a second time in the finals,which consisted of tasks that were designed by each team on their own.
The WrightEagle team designed a program that made the robot open a tight bottle cap incooperation with another robot, which won an additional 94 points, the highest among allthe dozens of competing teams in the section.
The @Home is a new league in the RoboCup that aims to foster the development ofapplications in the domains of service and assistance robotics, ambient intelligence andhuman-robot interactions, according to RoboCup's website.
"Many countries are now exerting efforts in the research and development of intelligentservice and assistive robots, which is also expected to play an important role in upgradingChina's manufacturing sector," said Chen Xiaoping, a computer science professor at USTCand the WrightEagle team leader, after the competition.
The seven-member team is an emerging star in the @Home league but a traditional powerin the 2D Simulation League, in which two teams play soccer in a two-dimensional virtualstadium with autonomous software programs.
The high performance of its programs has given the team the championship five times inthe 2D Simulation League.
