The Hors d'Oeuvres Event at the AAAI-2001 Mobile Robot Competition

Serving hors d'oeuvres is not as easy as it might seem! You have to move carefully between people, gently and politely offer them hors d'oeuvres, make sure that you have not forgotten to serve someone in the room, and refill the serving tray when required. These are the challenges that robots have to face in the Hors d'Oeuvres Anyone? event, part of the AAAI-2001 Mobile Robot Competition.
