Dear RoboCuppers, I'd like to make an announcement for the power supply. In Japan, the voltage of the power supply is 100 V and its frequency is 60Hz at Nagoya. The plug type is B. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AC_power_plugs_and_sockets#NEMA_5-15_grounded… Note that there is no 200V plug at the venue. I'm looking forward to seeing you at Nagoya!

It aims to foster research and development that enables use of innovative mobile robots equipped with advanced manipulators for current and future industrial applications, where robots cooperate with human workers for complex tasks ranging from manufacturing, automation, and parts handling up to general logistics. The RoboCup@Work league is characterized by an industrial appealing environment composed of industrial objects such as screws and nuts, shelfs, containers, platforms of various sizes and networked automation devices such as conveyor belts, drilling machines and others. The actual competition tasks to be performed in the environment are defined in a set of so-called tests. Each test addresses various mobile manipulation capabilities such as grasping, transportation, precision placement and visual servoing. The full rules of RoboCup@Work as well as further technical details are posted on the RoboCup@Work website. Participation in the Competition -------------------------------- All teams that intend to participate at the competition have to perform the following steps: 1.) Submission of qualification material, including a team description paper and possibly additional material like videos or drawings 2.)
