[robocup-athome] Some extra information

[Tijn van der Zant]

Dear all,

In less than six months we'll meet each other at the competitions in
Singapore. Since we had some problem updating the website (
www.robocupathome.org , needs the www. for some reason) you can find some
updates. There's a link to the movies from last year, thanks to Sven Olufs
who took care last year for the movies and the local organization.
There is also a short list of the test we are planning for this year. Many
of the tests have components of the tests of the previous year(s). There is,
as usual, a completely new test, where the general purpose capabilities and
intelligence of the robot are tested.
A big difference between the previous years and this year is that we plan to
take the robots into the wild! Yes, that's right, we are going outside the
scenario. In phase one we plan to have a follow me test in the public area.
So take your robot our of the lab and experiment with it in your local
shopping mall. In phase two the supermarket test is, if all goes well, taken
into a real supermarket, focusing on navigation, HRI and manipulation.
Please have a look at the website.

Also, the deadline for the pre-registration is extended. The deadline is
now: 31st of January.

Hope to see you all in Singapore!

-- Tijn
