Humanoid soccer has seen a lot of progress recently,
e.g., with the introduction of a bipedal
standard platform robot, soccer games
for larger robots, and the introduction of competitions
for simulated humanoid
robots. The ultimate goal of Humanoid Soccer Robotics is to develop
a team of
"humanoid soccer players" – i.e. robots with human-like motion,
intelligence, and
skills in playing soccer. This initiative poses a unique set
of challenges to robotics, AI and
many other fields. The workshop will bring
together researchers from the RoboCup and FIRA
communities, as well as other
researchers interested in the subject. The program consists of
one invited
talk, nine oral presentations, a poster session, and a panel discussion. All
accepted presentations have been subject to a peer review process. Covered
topics include
bipedal locomotion, generation of complex motions, control architectures,
motion planning,
visual perception of the game situation, team coordination, skill
and strategy learning, and
game monitoring.
