RoboCup@Home Education is an educational initiative that promotes educational efforts to boost RoboCup@Home participation and service robot development. We have started @Home Education activities since 2015, organized various competitions in Japan Open 2015, 2016, 2017, and RoboCup Asia-Pacific 2017, which generated more than 10 new teams with more than 50 participants in @Home participation. As an educational effort, since 2016 we have also conducted more than 8 workshops in domestic Japan and overseas. The workshop audiences were ranging from 20~70 participants, not limited to technical university students, but also inexperienced high school students and general public.
On December 2017, in collaboration with MathWorks, we had organized the Education Challenge at RoboCup Asia-Pacific 2017 Bangkok, in a combined workshop and competition event. It was a great success in transforming totally inexperienced participants to be able to build robot and ace the competition. We had obtained a bigger success in RoboCup 2018 Montreal, where a total of 11 teams over 40 participants from 9 different countries had taken part in the event. With this inspiring motivation, we have continue organized this event in the RoboCup 2019 Sydney for the participation from worldwide RoboCup community.

Workshop Contents
We will conduct hands-on workshop to guide the participants to build the robot for the competition. Prior experience in robot building is not required. However, some basic programming skill is needed. You can refer to our online courseware to get some ideas on the contents of the workshop, RoboCup@Home Education Open Courseware for Service Robotics.

Robot Hardware
The teams are free to develop own robot(s) based on the rules for the participation.
To facilitate totally inexperienced junior participants to join the event, we have some basic robot building materials for qualified junior teams (priority to new teams) to work (in sharing manner) for the workshop development. Prior application is required for the robot materials usage. Materials available are:
- Robot (TurtleBot2)
- Sensor (Kinect/Xtion/Astra)
- Robot arm
Robot Platform for the Workshop
PC and Software
The participating teams are required to prepare own computing device (laptop PC) for the robot. Please prepare at least one laptop PC per team.
- Minimum requirements: 2 USB ports (or with USB hub), built-in microphone and speaker (better with external)
- PC environment: Linux Ubuntu 16.04.5 LTS (Xenial Xerus)
- Download, install and activate MATLAB R2019a (complimentary software license by MathWorks)
*** 1. Check System Requirements for MATLAB R2019a. https://www.mathworks.com/support/sysreq.html
*** 2. Go to the RoboCup support page and request a complimentary software license. This should be started soon so things are ready. The steps to install and activate MATLAB will be emailed to you once the license is approved, and each team member should use the same information. https://www.mathworks.com/academia/student-competitions/robocup.html
