RoboCup and robot soccer have seen an enormous growth in the past decade, constantly widening the range of used technologies and scenarios. @Home is a new league in RoboCup with the aim to foster the development of applications in the domains of service and assistance robotics, ambient intelligence and human-robot interaction. In this book chapter, the underlying concepts of this new league are introduced. There are strong relations between the @Home league and the soccer competitions. An example is 'Natural Interaction with robotic systems'. If soccer robots are to play against humans, they should be able to understand the human environment, the 'umwelt' that humans are living in. After the introduction, we motivate the foundation of this new league by giving some philosophical background. Then, the structure and rules of the competition are explained. The league uses a set of independent benchmarks that test certain abilities in the domains of human robot interaction, manipulation, navigation, localization, and human and object recognition. Adapting, enhancing and integrating these benchmarks consequently over the years offer the opportunity to guide research and development toward robust, useful and applicable solutions. Not all benchmarks are predefined. An Open Challenge is provided as a platform to generate new, innovative and possibly unconventional ideas. Promising ideas are then used to adjust the road map of the league. The scope of necessary technologies is wide. Teams have to integrate many different technologies, communicate, exchange knowledge and develop multi-purpose components that can be transferred between different leagues to be successful in the competition. A central goal of @Home is to provide platforms for exchange and standardization of science and technology in the robotics domain. Section 4 points out how the @Home league is actually building on top of the technologies developed by doing robotic soccer for the past decade. The @Home league is not only using technologies of the soccer leagues, but it is also generating new technologies. By comparing robot vs. robot soccer with @Home, and regarding the technologies we probably need to win in 2050 from humans, it becomes clear that @Home is researching technologies that can
