FRASIER: Fostering Resilient Aging with Self-Efficacy and Independence Enabling Robot
Our overarching goal in this research and development effort is to advance the capabilities of Toyota Human Support Robot’s (HSR) for a successful team performance and technology demonstration at the 2018 RoboCup@Home DSPL. We will achieve this goal by (1) leveraging our team’s robotics competition experience from the DARPA Robotics Challenge (DRC), NASA Sample Return Robot (SRR) Centennial Challenge, NASA Exploration Robo-Ops Challenge, and Intelligent Ground Vehicle Competition (IGVC), (2) developing a systematic model-based task validation methodology, (3) implementing novel perception based navigation, manipulation and human-robot interaction techniques, (4) developing novel autonomy techniques for mobile robot manipulation, (5) making the developed software available to the robotics community post competition to broaden the impact of our participation. Successful completion of this project will not only progress the technological readiness of autonomous personal service robots for practical applications but also contribute new knowledge and methods to the RoboCup@Home DSPL community.

Prior Deliverables
All of the open-source code generated by our lab is maintained at Github.
In addition, we actively release ROS packages that we believe would be useful to other research groups in robotics through our release repository.
