“…The main differences between the original InMoov arm and CHARMIE's arm reside Moreover, two new different systems were developed to overcome the problems the initial elevation system had. The first, shown in Figure 4c,d, resembles the lifting mechanism presented by AMIGO [37,38]. Similarly to the initial lifting system, a ball screw spindle mechanism lifts the torso.…”

“…The goal is to foster the development of versatile domestic service robots that operate safely in daily life non-standardised environments. Some of the robots achieving the best results in the latest competitions are Walking Machine [23], RoboFEI [24], CATIE [25], Homer [26] and AMIGO [27]. Recent years have shown robots solving a wide range of different domestic tasks, like watering plants, taking the trash out, storing groceries, serving breakfast, cleaning and setting up a table.…”

The global population is ageing at an unprecedented rate. With changes in life expectancy across the world, three major issues arise: an increasing proportion of senior citizens; cognitive and physical problems progressively affecting the elderly; and a growing number of single-person households. The available data proves the ever-increasing necessity for efficient elderly care solutions such as healthcare service and assistive robots. Additionally, such robotic solutions provide safe healthcare assistance in public health emergencies such as the SARS-CoV-2 virus (COVID-19). CHARMIE is an anthropomorphic collaborative healthcare and domestic assistant robot capable of performing generic service tasks in non-standardised healthcare and domestic environment settings. The combination of its hardware and software solutions demonstrates map building and self-localisation, safe navigation through dynamic obstacle detection and avoidance, different human-robot interaction systems, speech and hearing, pose/gesture estimation and household object manipulation. Moreover, CHARMIE performs end-to-end chores in nursing homes, domestic houses, and healthcare facilities. Some examples of these chores are to help users transport items, fall detection, tidying up rooms, user following, and set up a table. The robot can perform a wide range of chores, either independently or collaboratively. CHARMIE provides a generic robotic solution such that older people can live longer, more independent, and healthier lives.

Scientific competitions are crucial in the field of service robotics. They foster knowledge exchange and allow teams to test their research in unstandardized scenarios and compare result. Such is the case of RoboCup@Home. However, keeping track of all the technologies and solution approaches used by teams to solve the tests can be a challenge in itself. Moreover, after eleven years of competitions, it's easy to delve too much into the field, losing perspective and forgetting about the user's needs and long term goals.In this paper, we aim to tackle this problems by presenting a summary of the trending solutions and approaches used in Robo-Cup@Home, and discussing the attained achievements and challenges to overcome in relation with the progress required to fulfill the long-term goal of the league. Hence, considering the current capabilities of the robots and their limitations, we propose a set of milestones to address in upcoming competitions.With this work we lay the foundations towards the creation of roadmaps that can help to direct efforts in testing and benchmarking in robotics competitions.Remark: Information from 2018 participants couldn't be considered since the list of attending teams to Montreal 2018 and their scoring in the RoboCup@Home leage was not available at the writing time of this manuscript.

“…The second-placed robot Justina from team PUMA [27] has a human-like design, with two arms for object manipulation mounted on a torso with a worm screw mechanism for prismatic movement, and four omnidirectional wheels for locomotion. The third placed robot was Tech United Eindhoven's AMIGO [28]. This robot has a human-like design with a four-wheeled omnidirectional locomotion system, a torso with 1 vertical degree of freedom and two Philips Experimental Robotic Arms with seven degrees of freedom each for object manipulation.…”

The robot gathers sensorial information and processes using neural networks, actuating in real time. The robot's two arms allow object and machine interaction. Its anthropomorphic structure is advantageous since machines are designed and optimized for human interaction. Sound output allows it to relay information to workers and provide feedback. Allying these features with communication with a database or remote operator results in establishment of a bridge between the physical environment and virtual domain. The goal is an increase in information flow and accessibility. This paper presents the current state of the project, intended features and how it can contribute to the development of Industry 4.0. Focus is given to already finished work, detailing the methodology used for two of the robot's subsystems: locomotion system; lower limbs of the robot.
