Abstract
In this paper, we detail the contributions of our team NimbRo to the RoboCup @Home league in 2011. We explain design and rationale of our domestic service robot Cosero that we used for the first time in a competition in 2011. We demonstrated novel capabilities in the league such as real-time table-top segmentation, flexible grasp planning, and real-time tracking of objects. We also describe our approaches to human-robot cooperative manipulation and 3D navigation. Finally, we report on the use of our approaches and the performance of our robots at RoboCup 2011.
