Abstract
One of today’s overall efforts in mobile industrial robotics is the enhancement of autonomy and flexibility considering required safety issues. The new league RoboCup@Work being carried out for the first time in Mexico City, Mexico 2012, focuses on boosting research activities in this field in order to create new, innovative ideas and concepts meeting industrial needs.
This paper introduces the new league. Furthermore, it presents the approaches of the winner team LUHbots, Leibniz Universität Hannover, Hanover, Germany, at each competition in detail.
