This video shows a mobile manipulation scenario of our robot Kate preparing and delivering coffee. The whole system is developed using the SmartSoft MDSD Toolchain. It is one example of how to build a complex system by composing already existing reusable software components as well as already existing SmartTCL action plots. The orchestration of the components is done with SmartTCL. The object recognition uses a Kinect 3D sensor. It combines several recognition algorithms. The trajectory planning is done with OpenRAVE which takes the mesh representation of the objects into account.
