-Started in the **end of 2013**, this team is the result of an unification process from both SocRob Rescue and SocRob MSL members.
+Our main research group, **Intelligent Robots and Systems from ISR, IST**, coordinated a major EU funded project directly related to human-robot interactions and social behaviors: [[http://www.monarch-fp7.eu/!MOnarCH|MOnarCH]]. This project aimed to provide a set of robots with the capabilities of performing tasks to entertaining kids with health problems (more specifically, cancer) from the Instituto Português de Oncologia Francisco Gentil in Lisbon (IPO) in an autonomous and distributed way.

-Also, our group runs the EU funded project [[http://rockinrobotchallenge.eu/|RoCKIn]] alongside five other parters, where a set of competitions related to domestic and work environments are organized to test new benchmark methods for evaluating challenging new aspects of state-of-art robots.
+Also, our group ran, from 2013 until 2015, the EU funded project [[http://rockinrobotchallenge.eu/|RoCKIn]] alongside five other partners, where a set of competitions related to domestic and work environments are organized to test new benchmark methods for evaluating challenging new aspects of state-of-the-art robots.
 These two projects, plus the challenge that a domestic solution for robotics offers, convinced us to gather and form an unique team, highly motivated and ready for all challenges to come!
-===== Main Robot =====
+===== Current Robot: MBot ====
+(also known as **Mordomo**, also known as **Gasparzinho**)
+{{:socrobhome:img_9529_cropped.jpg?direct&250 |}}
-==== MBot ====
+The **MBot** is composed of two main parts: body and head. The head can pan and has LED backlight to express emotions through a drawn mouth, eyes and checks. The body has all of the CPU devices (two motherboards with i7 processors), a touchscreen and all of the navigation mechanics, based on a Four-Wheel Omnbidirectional Mecanum drive.

-This **MBot** is part of the team of robots used for the **MOnarCH** project.

The body has all of the CPU devices (two motherboards with i7 processors), a touchscreen and all of the navigation mechanics, based on a Four-Wheel Omnbidirectional Mecanum drive.
 Regarding additional sensors and actuators needed specifically for @Home competitions, a Cyton 1500 Robai Arm with 7 DoF was attached to the left side of the body for manipulation capabilities and a microfone was placed on the top of the head for voice recognition.
 This robot replaced ISR-Cobot for our @Home missions, as it proved to have more computational power, robustness and better aesthetics towards our goal.
-===== Previous Robots =====
-==== ISR-CoBoT ====
-{{ :isr-cobot.jpg?direct&150|}}
-**ISR-CoBot** is is an experimental platform for research in Human-Robot Interaction (HRI). It is a service robot for office environments designed to perform tasks for users. The research is targeted towards a robust platform capable of navigating in crowded environments. We aim at robots that are aware of their own limitations, and are thus capable to autonomously asking humans for help. This way we expect to get closer to the goal of a symbiotic interaction between humans and robots.
-The platform is based on a customized Nomadic Scout differential drive platform. Its equipment includes a touchscreen on a laptop for HRI and computing, an Hokuyo UTM-30LX laser range finder (range 30m), a Kinect RGB-D camera, and an IP PTZ camera.
-This robot resulted from an ongoing collaboration with the CoBot project at Carnegie Mellon University.
