The 9th Workshop on Humanoid Soccer Robots
IEEE-RAS International Conference on Humanoid Robots
November 18th 2014, Madrid, Spain
http://www.humanoidsoccer.org/ws14
==============================================================================
* Motivation:
Humanoid soccer has seen impressive progress in recent years. Bipedal
standard
or open platforms (Nao, DARwIn-OP, NimbRo-OP) make soccer robots
accessible to
many research groups, advanced 3D simulation games make the
investigation of
team play with complex 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, 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.
* Call for Papers:
We solicit submissions of original, previously unpublished research papers,
optionally accompanied by a video. Papers should be up to 6 pages in
length,
formatted according to IEEE conference layout (two-column). Accepted papers
and videos will be available online.
* Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
- Design of humanoid robots
- Bipedal locomotion
- Dynamic full-body motions
- Control architectures
- Motion and action planning
- Perception of the game situation
- Team coordination
- Skill and strategy learning
- 3D simulation of humanoid robots
* Important dates:
- Paper submission: October 5th, 2014
- Acceptance notification: October 19th, 2014
-Final paper: November 2nd, 2014
- Workshop day: November 18th, 2014
