[robocup-nao] Reminder: The 6th Workshop on Humanoid Soccer Robots @ Humanoids 2011

[Thomas Röfer]

Dear all,

the EasyChair submission site for the Humanoid Soccer Workshop is now open here:
https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=hsr11

Please find below again the call for papers.

Best,

Thomas.

================================================================
The 6th Workshop on Humanoid Soccer Robots
http://www.humanoidsoccer.org/ws11
----------------------------------------------------------------
11th IEEE-RAS International Conference on Humanoid Robots
Bled, Slovenia, October 26th 2011
================================================================

Motivation and Objectives

Humanoid soccer has seen a lot of progress in recent years, e.g.,
with the introduction of a bipedal standard platform robot (Nao),
soccer games for larger robots (TeenSize), and the introduction
of competitions for simulated humanoid robots (3D Simulation).
The ultimate goal of Humanoid Soccer Robotics is to develop a
team of "humanoid soccer players" – i.e. robots with human-like
motion, intelligence, and skills in playing soccer. This
initiative poses a unique set of challenges to robotics, AI, and
many other fields.
The workshop aims at bringing together researchers from the
RoboCup and FIRA communities, as well as other researchers
interested in the subject.
