KeJia: The Intelligent Domestic Robot for RoboCup@Home 2015

This paper aims at reporting the recent progress of search on our intelligent robot KeJia, whose long-term goal is to develop and integrate intelligence into a domestic robot. It covers issues ranging from hardware design, perception and high-level cognitive functions. All these techniques have been tested in former RoboCup@Home tests and other open demostrations.
