RoboCup
History
RoboCup is an international robotic competition. It had originally been created with the aim of developing a team of robots able to win against the world champion team in human soccer by 2050. Now, it features more than 10 different leagues with a wide variety of robotics challenge, from bipedal locomotion (humanoid league) to disaster robots (rescue league). Each year, this competition gather more than 3'000 researchers from the whole world.
The humanoid kid-size league
Rhoban team is deeply involved in the humanoid kid-size league. In this league, the robots must have a humanoid shape and use only humanoid-like sensors. Each team can develop its own hardware and therefore participating require a large amount of engineering work. The major challenges of this league are the following:
- Bipedal locomotion on artificial grass
- Self-localization on the field using embedded computer vision
- Robustness: since robot fall or collide often, it is mandatory that robots can stand up autonomously.
- Action planning in stochastic and partially observable environments
