This paper describes the robots TIAGo and Lisa used by team homer@UniKoblenz of the University of Koblenz-Landau, Germany, for the participation at the RoboCup@Home 2018 in Montreal, Canada. Further this paper serves as qualification material for the RoboCup-@Home participation in 2018. A special focus is put on novel system components and the open source contributions of our team. This year the team from Koblenz won the biggest annual scientianc robot competition in Montreal in the RoboCup@Home Open Platform track for the third time and also won the RoboCup@Home German Open for the second time. As a research highlight a novel symbolic imitation learning approach was demonstrated during the annals. The TIAGo robotic research platform was used for the first time by the team. We have released packages for object recognition, a robot face including speech synthesis, mapping and navigation, speech recognition interface via android and a GUI. The packages are available (and new packages will be released) on http://wiki.ros.org/agas-ros-pkg. Further information can be found on our project page http://homer.uni-koblenz.de.
