The team B-Human announces the availability of our 2019 code release at https://github.com/bhuman/BHumanCodeRelease It is the most advanced B-Human code ever along with our most beautiful report! Many thousands of lines of open source code and almost 200 pages of documentation. The software released is a cleaned-up version of the system we used in the RoboCup 2019 finals. Many improvements were made, for instance: - We support the NAO V6 (only). To run it, you need the RoboCup-only firmware for the NAO that you can get through the Technical Committee. - Our framework now supports running modules in an arbitrary number of threads. - We have a new automatic camera calibration. - Our deep neural network for ball detection now also provides the center and the radius of the ball detected. Its training data was augmented to support the detection of balls under arbitrary lighting conditions such as (partial) shadows on the ball. - Other players are detected by a deep neural network. - The behavior is now described using our new Skills and Cards system. The behavior itself was removed from the code release. - The get up routine is now both very reliable and fast. Our software is released with its own 3-D simulator. Microsoft Windows 64 bit, Linux 64 bit, and macOS are fully supported. Please note that the new code is released within the same repository that we used for our previous releases. The old releases are marked with tags in that repository. We strongly believe in sharing our developments and look forward to the code releases of others. Have fun :-) Team B-Human From thomas.roefer at dfki.de Wed Nov 13 10:03:44 2019 From: thomas.roefer at dfki.de (=?utf-8?Q?Thomas_R=C3=B6fer?=) Date: Wed, 13 Nov 2019 16:03:44 +0100 Subject: [robocup-nao] Call for Participation RoboCup German Open 2020 References: Message-ID: RoboCup German Open 2020 Call for Participation https://robocupgermanopen.de 24 - 26 April 2020 MESSE MAGDEBURG, Germany The RoboCup German Open 2020 will be the 18th open RoboCup competition held in Germany.

RoboCup currently includes a number of different robot soccer leagues that focus on different research challenges. *The Standard Platform League (SPL)* is characterized by all the teams using an identical robot platform. Participating researchers focus on algorithmic development for fully autonomous robots, i.e., robots that operate with no external control. The SPL at RoboCup 2020 will use V6, V5 or older versions of the NAO humanoid robot manufactured by SoftBank Robotics . The SPL robot soccer team competition games at RoboCup 2020 will be played indoor and outdoor between teams of five robots on a 6m x 9m playing surface. Teams should be able to play on a randomly assigned indoor or outdoor field within one hour. The RoboCup 2020 SPL will host: * A team competition * An open research challenge * Two technical challenges The team competition will consist of a similar number of games for most teams compared to recent years. We expect to qualify 24 teams. The structure from 2019 will be used to allow all teams to play games against teams with similar skill levels. See Appendix A.4 of the preliminary rulebook (to be released soon) for more details. The 24 teams participating in the team competition should also compete in the open research challenge and technical challenges. The first technical challenge will be a "General Penalty Shoot Out Challenge", similar to the one from RoboCup 2018. The second technical challenge will be an obstacle avoidance challenge. The open challenge will consist of a poster prepared by the teams accompanied by a small presentation. All challenges will be detailed further with the release of the SPL rules document. To assist in adoption of V6 Robots source code examples and documentation regarding V6 robots were published on the SPL website . One can also find example code working with V6 Robots in the code released by participating teams. These examples allow teams to adapt their competition code from recent years more easily to encourage use of V6 Robots. If you need access to the RoboCup NAOqi Image and the specific documentation, please write an email (mentioning your team affiliation) to rc-spl-tc at lists.robocup.org. Qualification All interested teams must submit an original qualification document. For the qualification document to be considered, it must (1) be no longer than *6 pages* and (2) include all the following information in *sections with the specified headings*: 1. *Team Information:* the team name, the team leader(s), and the university/company affiliation(s) of the team 2. *Code Usage:* acknowledge the team?s use of any other team?s code (1) previously from 2016 to present and (2) anticipated at RoboCup 2020. If code is used from other teams, is this code integrated into a code base that is mainly designed by the applying team? Describe in detail the ?research publishable? significant advancements to a module the applying team has made in accordance with the league's qualification procedure. If the applying team does not use any other team?s code, state so. For further details, please have a look into the rule book, section A.1. 3. *Past History:* provide game results in RoboCup Open competitions as well as main RoboCup competitions from 2018 onward. Include opponents and game scores from each competition in a table. State if the team plans to participate in any RoboCup Open competitions or friendlies prior to RoboCup 2020. 4. *Impact:* What is the impact of the team?s participation and research in RoboCup on (1) the SPL, (2) the team?s university/community? 5. *Other:* present any other information that you believe supports your application The written material must be complemented by a link to a video (maximum 5 minutes long, uploaded on the team?s web site or on some video server) that demonstrates the status of the team. The TC uses the video to determine the readiness of the team to compete effectively, and hence should focus on the team?s ability to play soccer. Teams who did not participate in the team competition at RoboCup 2019 *must* include footage of at least one robot attempting to kick off and score (this footage must be captured as a single wide shot with no cuts). If robots from multiple teams are active in the footage (e.g. game footage), please include a textual overlay or additional document denoting which robots belong to the applying team for every scene. Videos of simulation contributions will also be accepted, but only when a real robot is unavailable. Preference will be given to teams that use real robots to show soccer skills in their video. Pre-Qualification Teams that satisfied the pre-qualification guidelines as set forth in the RoboCup 2019 rulebook will be pre-qualified for RoboCup 2020, if they submit the following original qualification document. Teams able to pre-qualify include: * B-Human * Nao-Team HTWK * rUNSWift * Nao Devils * TJArk * UT Austin Villa * HULKs * Bembelbots * Starkit * SABANA Herons * Berlin United The original qualification document must include: 1. *Team Information:* the team name, leader(s), and the university/company affiliation(s) of the team 2. *Code Usage:* acknowledge the team?s use of any other team?s code (1) previously from 2016 to present and (2) anticipated at RoboCup 2020. If code is used from other teams, is this code integrated into a code base that is mainly designed by the applying team? Describe in detail the ?research publishable? significant advancements to a module the applying team has made in accordance with the league's qualification procedure.
