eR@sers is a team for robot competition and research at Tamagawa University. We conduct research and development in robotics and artificial intelligence to build smarter home service robots. Serving as both a learning platform for education and an evaluation benchmark for our developed technologies, our team participates in several robot competitions, such as RoboCup@Home.
RoboCup 2026 Incheon has concluded! We participated in the @Home League with the TOYOTA HSR and Unitree G1. Our final results are shown below. Thank you very much to the organizers and the staffs. We look forward to seeing everyone again at the next RoboCup in Germany!

Award Announcement
Team eR@sers & Re@dy has won the Humanoid Special Award at the RoboCup 2026 @Home league!
This year marked our first-ever humanoid robot entry in @Home, competing alongside our long-standing Toyota HSR platform. The humanoid (Unitree G1) exhibited excellent performance on Restaurant & Human-Robot Interaction tasks, and this recognition reflects the strength of our humanoid platform.
Thank you to everyone who supported us!
See you next in Germany!!
RoboCup 2026 Incheon DAY 4 is over. We obtain the chance to challenge to the Restaurant task tomorrow!
We are participating in the @Home League!
We have posted a video for our participation in RoboCup@Home 2026. It can be viewed on YouTube at the link below.
We successfully fine-tuned the VLA Model π0 using five hours of training data collected in our lab. We then deployed the model onto the HSR. Based on a natural language command, “Clear the table,” the robot was able to execute the task completely autonomously!
Our team is composed of members from a wide range of academic levels, from first-year undergraduate students in engineering to doctoral students in graduate school. We actively share the latest research outcomes produced by our PhD students with the entire team, while also contributing to STEM education for undergraduate students. Through this collaborative structure, we pursue both research and education as two complementary pillars of our team activities.
In addition, our team is supervised by three faculty members from the Department of Information and Communication Engineering and one faculty member from the Advanced Intelligence and Robotics Research Center at the Brain Science Institute. Together, we foster an open and interdisciplinary research and education environment, and we validate the outcomes of these activities through participation in RoboCup competitions.
A space modeled after an actual living room and kitchen. We use this area to verify the performance of home service robots in a domestic environment.
We conduct research and development on robotics and AI in the Robotics Lab (Room 220), located next to the 2nd-floor entrance of STREAM Hall 2019.
