Dear HL teams,

Up on the previous announcement of HL Technical Committee, the RoboCup
Federation called for a significant push in the rules towards the 2050
goal. Based on the ideas and discussions at the team leader meeting in
Eindhoven during RoboCup 2013, the Technical Committee has tried to propose
a long term road map for Humanoid League for reaching to this goal.

The RoboCup Soccer Humanoid League roadmap has been constituted in the
year 2014 to lay out a rough plan of milestones that the Humanoid League
would have to reach on the way to the 2050 goal: to defeat the human
world champion soccer team in a fair game according to the FIFA rules.

The idea of the roadmap is to define large changes to the environment
and the gameplay, which take effect every five years to encourage a
steady long term development of the league. For each five year min robot
height, filed length, max number of players in each team and also duration
of play per half have been proposed. The currently three size classes will
successively be reduced to two and finally one as the minimum robot heights
will be increased over the years. The planned technical challenges for this
duration have come at the end of each five years.

The Technical Committee has uploaded the first roadmap draft for the
RoboCup
Humanoid League:

We invite everybody to discuss about this proposal, to make additional
suggestions and give feedback. Only in this way, the long term roadmap will
be
able to address all teams' new ideas and suggestions. Please provide
feedback
via the HL mailing list.

Humanoid League Technical Committee

Marcell Missura, Soroush Sadeghnejad and Daniel Seifert
