OBJECTIVE
RoboCup is the world's leading, largest and most sustainable competition

The objective of this one day workshop is to offer a forum for researchers 
interested in participating in RoboCup to obtain first hand information on 
the different Major Leagues and to network with established RoboCup teams 
present at RoboCup German Open.
As the 20th RoboCup will be held in 2016 in Leipzig, Germany, this 
workshop offers an excellent opportunity for new coming teams aiming at 
participation in the international event in 2016.

AGENDA
In the morning an overview of RoboCup and the Major Leagues present at 
RoboCup German Open will be given. In the afternoon parallel workshops 
will be held in the respective league areas. The following leagues will be 
presented:
- Humanoid: Autonomous humanoid soccer robots
- Standard Platform: Standard platform soccer robots (Aldebaran Nao)
- 3D SIM: Autonomous simulated humanoid soccer robots
- Rescue Robot: Semi-autonomous and supervised robots for urban search and
   rescue
- @Home: Intelligent robots interacting with and serving humans in a
   realistic living environment
- @Work: Intelligent robots for flexible manufacturing cells
- Logistics: Self-organising robotic vehicles for flexible solution of
   material and informational flow within industrial production

Also information on how to establish a RoboCup regional committee to
