HRI–Human-RobotInteraction(Demonstration)PurposeRobotics is quickly integrating into modern day life, creating a safer and more productive world. It is widely believed that robots will eventually take over dangerous jobs that are currently done by humans. Therefore, companies will be looking for talented individuals who can program these robots. This event will evaluate students’ programming knowledge using a humanoid robotics platform. A team of two contestants will be evaluated on their ability to develop, document, execute, and deploy a computer program for a humanoid robot to complete a series of tasks. This challenge will recognize outstanding students for excellence and professionalism in the fields of Human-Robot Interaction (HRI), Computer Science, Computer Programming, and Robotics. ClothingRequirementsContestants must wear SkillsUSA official attire or official attire for the occupational area of the demonstration. For men: Official SkillsUSA white polo shirt with black dress slacks, black socks, and black leather shoes. For women: Official skills USA white polo shirt with black dress slacks or skirt, black socks or black or clear seamless hose, and black leather shoes. These regulations refer to clothing items that are pictured and described at: www.skillsusastore.org. If you have questions about clothing or other logo items, call 800-401-1560 or 703-956-3723.

resume and submit a hard copy to the technical committee chair at orientation. Failure to do so will result in a 10-point penalty.
7. NAO robot
164
ScopeoftheContestThe contest will consist of the following parts: A. Knowledge Performance
1. A reflective paper 2. A presentation 3. An exam
B. Skill Performance 1. On Site Programming Challenge
Each component of the event is described below. KnowledgePerformanceNotebook:The purpose of the notebook is for the contestants to write a reflective paper that outlines an innovative way a humanoid robot could be implemented into everyday life in the future. The paper should contain ideas and recommendations on how others could implement the idea as well as repercussions an implementation such as this may cause. The notebook must be brought to the contestant orientation meeting. The format listed below must be followed: A. The notebook must be an official
SkillsUSA three-ring binder (two inch #101-2410 from e-group)
B. The notebook must not contain more than 20 pages (40 surfaces) Note: A surface is only that material which can be pasted or glued to a notebook page. Any pockets, foldout pages, individual materials contained in plastic sleeves, multiples pages, or similar features will count as additional surfaces and will be subject to penalty, except where specifically stated otherwise. Pages must be plasticized without affecting the scores.
C. The notebook should be organized in the following format:
1. Title Page – The title page must include the name of the project, chapter name, school address, and the names of the presenting team members.
2. Introduction – The introduction should provide a brief and concise description or overview of your idea in one page or less.
3. Table of Contents – The table of contents should indicate page numbers. All surfaces should be numbered, and the information should be organized according to the following appropriate sections: a. Section I (Objectives) – Objectives
should be specific b. Section II (Impact) – Describe what
you feel the impact would be after integration of a humanoid robot into everyday human life.
c. Section III (Benefits) – Explain how your ideas would benefit society.
d. Section IV (Repercussions) – Explain any repercussions your idea would have on society, if any.
Presentation:The purpose of the presentation is to provide the judges with an understanding of your idea, how the idea was decided upon, and thoughts or recommendations of how others could implement your idea. A. Presentationisaminimumof5minutesand
amaximumof10minutesinlength.B. TimePenalty:5pointsaredeductedfor
each30seconds(orfraction)underthefiveminutesorforeach30seconds(orfraction)overthetenminutes.Timeisstartedwhenthepresentationbegins.
C. Bothmembersoftheteammustparticipateinthepresentation.
Exam:The exam will consist of basic geometry and Choreographe programming knowledge
165
SkillPerformanceOnSiteProgramming:Using NAO Choreographe software, students will program the NAO robot to perform a series of tasks provided to them by the technical team. The programming component will test students’ skills using a variety of robotic sensors, such as movement, vision, and color recognition. Below is a list of some potential tasks the robot will need to complete: A. Therobotwillneedtodemonstrate
controlledbalance,locateanobject,pickitup,andbringitbacktothestartingpoint.
B. Therobotwillneedtoidentifyaspecificobjectoutofthree(basedonrecognition,color,orNaomark),retrievethespecifiedobject,moveittoashelf,andreturntothestartingpoint.
C. Therobotwillneedtoidentifythreeuniqueobjects,putaspecifiedobjectinatrashcan,moveonespecifiedobjecttoashelf,bringonespecifiedobjectbacktoaspecifiedlocation,placethatobjectintheoutstretchedhandofoneofthecontestants,andthenreturntothestartingpoint.
In each of the scenarios above, the robot will need to explain to the audience what it is doing while it is performing each task. Prior to programming the NAO robot to complete each task, the contestants will develop a written flow chart that outlines the program flow. Once the flow chart has been reviewed by the judges, the contestants will then continue with programming their robot for the assigned task. StandardsandCompetencies:HRI 1.0 – Engineering Notebook
