Year after year humanoid
robots are
more and more robust and autonomous. One of the fields with the most
impressive advances is Humanoid Soccer Robotics. The ultimate goal of
Humanoid Soccer Robotics is to develop a team of "humanoid soccer
players" – i.e. robots with human-like motion, intelligence,
communication, and skills in playing soccer. This initiative is
definitely posing a unique set of challenges to the researchers in
robotics, AI and many other fields.
This workshop is open to
contribution of all researchers interested in the subject. We warmly
welcome contributions from the RoboCup and FIRA communities to foster
the exchange of ideas and to promote robotic soccer in the IEEE
community. This is the forth of a successful series of workshops held
every year since 2006 at IEEE-RAS International Conference on Humanoid
Robots. Previous workshops gave rise to special issues of international
journals (IJHR, RAS) see
http://www.humanoidsoccer.org/
Topics of interest for the workshop are:
• Design and control of humanoid soccer
robots
• Biped locomotion
• Complex motion generation for humanoids
• Motion planning for humanoid soccer
• Perception for humanoids
• SLAM for humanoids
• Multi-humanoid systems
• Humanoid team coordination
• 3D simulation of humanoid robots
• Moving from a quadruped robot to a
biped robot in the RoboCup Standard Platform League
All
submissions will undergo a peer review process. All papers must be
submitted electronically by sending it to the three Program Chairs, in
PDF format by Octo ber 10, 2009. The maximum number of pages
is limited
to eight, including figures. A CD-ROM with the accepted paper will be
distributed at the Conference.
After the workshop, the best papers will be selected for a robotics
journal special issue as in the previous years.
Interested
authors should send by e-mail a paper title, abstract and keywords to
the Program Chairs, as soon as possible, and then they must submit the
full paper according to the following deadlines.
Important Dates:
- Notification of Paper Title, Abstract and Keywords by
authors due: ASAP
- Full paper submission due: October 10, 2009
- Notification of acceptance by workshop
Co-Chairs: October 30, 2009
- Final paper due: November 21st, 2009
