Motivation
Humanoid soccer has seen impressive progress in recent years. Bipedal standard or open platforms (Nao, Robotis-OP2, NimbRo-OP, and Thormang) make soccer robots accessible to many research groups, advanced 3D simulation games make the investigation of team play with complex heterogeneous humanoid robots possible, and soccer games for larger robots are a step towards playing with humans. The ultimate goal of this initiative is to develop a team of humanoid soccer players – i.e. robots with human-like awareness of the game situation, efficient and safe dynamic motion skills, and cooperation abilities. This poses a unique set of challenges to robotics, AI, and other fields.
Objective
The workshop aims at bringing together researchers from the RoboCup and FIRA communities, as well as other researchers interested in the subject. The full-day program will consist of invited talks, contributed presentations, and a panel discussion.
Submission
All contributed presentations are subject to a peer review process.
- Full papers:
We solicit submissions of original, previously unpublished
research papers.
Papers should be up to 6 pages in length, formatted according to IEEE conference layout (two-column).
- Abstracts: Authors interested mainly to give a workshop presentation may submit a one-page abstract of their presentation.
Submit your contribution through EasyChair.
Accepted papers and abstracts will be available online.
