Norri Kageki writes, "Thank you very much for picking up the ROBO-ONE Helper Robot Project on your robot competition FAQ. I did go see the competition and you can read an update in my blog". Norri has posted a detailed, four part blog post with video and photos of the ROBO-ONE Helper event, in which humanoid robots had to walk around in a real shopping mall and attempt to make purchases of real products from real vendors. While the robots were teleoperated over a WiFi link and not autonomous, the exercise shows what the hardware is capable of. The video included here shows Aero-Blue, a robot developed by Team CAP Project, as it pushes a shopping cart and purchases a white purse. Be sure to check out Norri's blog to see lots more photos and videos of the other winning robots.
