Abstract--This paper describes the Inria team's integrated robotics system used in the 1st euROBIN coopetition, during which service robots performed voice-activated household tasks in a kitchen setting. The key contributions (opens-sourced) are the integration of these components and the design of custom teleoperation devices, addressing practical challenges in the deployment of service robots. EuROBIN is a Network of the robot was requested to understand and execute standard Excellence in AI and Robotics, funded by the European instructions following two patterns: (1) pick an object from a Commission. Among its objectives, it promotes transfer of designated location and place it at another location; (2) pick robotics and AI software, methods and practices, by organizing an object from a designated location and deliver it to a person. Twenty teams participated to the to extend the use of the platforms to new or unexpected 1st coopetition, in three different leagues. The Inria team situations and cope with failures that might occur during participated to the Service Robots League, including six teams, autonomous operation.
