The Team
UChile Homebreakers was founded on 2006 and we have been developing Bender since then. We focus on human-robot interaction (HRI), computer vision, autonomous navigation, and manipulation research.
Our team is composed by more than 20 people pursuing bachelors, masters and doctorate programs in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering and Engineering in Biotechnology.
As a team, we have made efforts to spread robotics among chilean children at schools, and to guide new engineering students who are interested in the field.
