===========================================================

The goal of the RoboCup Humanoid Open Soccer Competition (HOSC) is to present an entry competition for young teams interested in humanoid soccer robots. Target groups are RoboCup Junior participants, mature school students and early undergraduate university students. For the competition student groups prepare a single autonomous bipedal robot each to compete in robot soccer matches. The competition shall allow a simplified approach with a lessened learning curve to humanoid soccer robots and experimentation with different humanoid robot designs and technologies. Robot teams consist of field players only. Robots must look for the ball and try to score goals. Robot teams of 2 - 6 players are formed for each game throughout the tournament. Robots must be designed, constructed and programmed by participants.
