 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!  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!

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

 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. 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.
