The 8th Workshop on Humanoid Soccer Robots
IEEE-RAS International Conference on Humanoid Robots
October 15th 2013, Atlanta, GA
http://www.humanoidsoccer.org/ws13
==============================================================================
* 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 several 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We solicit submissions of original, previously unpublished research papers,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 (extended): September 15th, 2013
- Acceptance notification: September 22nd, 2013
- Final paper: October 7th, 2013
- Workshop day: October 15th, 2013
