LCASTOR 2024 Team Description Paper

LCASTOR is the team from the Lincoln Centre for Autonomous Systems (LCAS) at the University of Lincoln, United Kingdom. It comprises academics, researchers and postgraduate students that have developed several solutions for the deployment of social robots in public environments. Our main motivations to participate in the @Home Open Platform are 1) the adaptation of the solution developed by the research group in National and European projects to the @Home tasks, and the dissemination and release of these solutions to the RoboCup@Home community, 2) starting a new robotics competition task force within LCAS to foster the involvement of undergraduate and postgraduate students in the field.
