Dear Humanoid League RoboCuppers,

Please consider participating to the RoboCup Humanoid League Workshop at 
IROS on October 5th at Madrid, note that there will be a summer school 
of humanoid robotics from October 2nd to October 4th.

  Call for papers for IROS18 Workshop: RoboCup Humanoid League

Half-Day Workshop October 5th afternoon, 2018, Madrid, Spain


  General scope

The RoboCup Humanoid League is targeting soccer games as a challenging 
benchmark in humanoid robotics design and control. Playing soccer 
requires advanced kinematic and dynamic control, reliable perception and 
planning and high-level cooperation between robots to follow a joint 
strategy. For the year 2050 plans foresee a game against the 2050 human 
soccer champion. The workshop shall help to break down the work for the 
coming 30 years until 2050 into manageable tasks and steps that allow 
planning and assessing the progress. The workshop shall identify crucial 
research questions and clarify the order and timing required to reach 
the goal and thereby provide a framework for the humanoid robotics 
community to independently focus on their own research interests while 
still working towards the joint goal.
