SCOPE

RoboCup was founded in 1997 with the main goal of “developing by 2050 a
Robot Soccer team capable of winning against the human team champion of the
FIFA World Cup”. In the next years, RoboCup proposed several soccer
platforms that have been established as standard platforms for robotics
research. This domain demonstrated the capability of capturing key aspects
of complex real world problems, stimulating the developmentof a wide range
of technologies, including the design of
electrical-mechanical-computational integrated techniques for autonomous
robots. After more than 15 years of RoboCup, nowadays robot soccer
represents only a part of the available platforms. RoboCup encompasses more
than 15 major leagues that, in addition to Soccer, cover Rescue (Robots and
Simulation), @Home (assistive robots in home environments), Festo Logistics
League and @Work (Industrial environments), as well as RoboCupJunior
leagues for kids. These domains offer a wide range of platforms for
researchers with the potential to speed up the developments in the mobile
robotics field. Thisworkshop aims to discuss the advances of the
electrical, mechanical and computational aspects of robotics based on
RoboCup platforms.


TOPICS OF INTEREST

This workshop aims to present the state-of-the-art concerning Robotics and
Artificial Intelligence developmentsbased on RoboCup leagues platforms. All
papers are required to demonstrate strong relationship with RoboCup
platforms. Topics of interest include, but are not restricted to:

- RoboCup Soccer
- RoboCup Rescue
- RoboCup Junior
- Mobile and humanoid robots
- Robots for RoboCup real and simulated leagues
- Electronics, sensors and embedded devices
- Mechanics, materials and mechanisms
- Software, environments, programming and languages
- Robot cognition, learning, planning and reasoning
- Localization, navigation and mapping
- Motors, sensors and environment modeling
- Robot kinematics and dynamics
- Robot perception, reasoning and action
- Multi-robot systems
- Human-robot interaction
- Robotics in education and entertainment
- Algorithms and techniques extension for novel applications

(*) Specific contributions on RoboCup at home are encouraged to be submitted
to the RoboCup at home workshopin ICAR.
