This paper describes the development of the new RoboCup@Home robot team LAR@Home from the University of Minho, Portugal, for the competition that will take place in Bordeaux, France, in 2023. Main research efforts in this new robot focus essentially on its mechanical and electronic structure, with an anthropomorphic approach, in its location, navigation, and segmentation of objects, and in the ability to interact as naturally as possible with the human being and the surrounding environment. The 25 years of experience in other RoboCup leagues and the analysis of other teams robots, helped the development of this new robotic platform, especially regarding the locomotion, and the vision system, allowing a more reliable and robust platform here described.
