About us
O.I.T-Trial is the name of our Japanese team that participates in the competitive world of RoboCup. We have entered robots in the RoboCup Japan Open @Home League every year since 2011 with consistent success (see below, "Previous Participation in RoboCup@Home Events").
Team members belong to the Faculty of Robotics and Design and Faculty of Information Science and Technology at the Osaka Institute of Technology.

We have developed three robots, ASAHI (‘Rising Sun’), SUBARU (‘Pleiades’) and ORION whose main purpose is to perform useful assistive functions in daily home life.
We challenge ourselves to develop robots that can work alongside people to improve their quality of life.
RASALAS: full scratch omni wheeled robot. Vehicle, torso and arm are made by us.
