*ABOUT RCLL

* With both competitive and research aspects, the RoboCup Logistics 
League aims to demonstrate the possibilites of a future Smart Factory. 
With the concept of „Industry 4.0“ in mind, production steps have to be 
divided into actions executable by robots, thus making their automation 
possible. These actions have to be planned and coordinated fully 
autonomously by the robots.

The RCLL strives to promote research and development on the 
intralogistic challenges of future production processes. For this 
purpose the competition is held in an exemplary factory setting where an 
abstract product consisting of bases, rings and caps can be produced.

This year, the competition will be held virtually. The rules have been 
adapted accordingly to create an exciting and challenging event. The 
event is split into two categories:

 1. Main competition consisting of various challenges
 2. Mock-Up RCLL

The main competition will be played on mock-up machines and on a 5x5m² 
field. Mock-up machines can be assembled by the teams, according to the 
specifications found in the rulebook.
We have split up the full RCLL game into 5 challenges which represent 
the main difficulties of the normal game, but can be executed on a 
smaller scale:

 1. Navigation Challenge, navigating through a given set of waypoints
 2. Exploration Challenge, finding and correctly identifying production
    machines
 3. Grasping Challenge, robust workpiece manipulation
 4. CX Production, following a production plan and successfully
    delivering a product
 5. Markerless Detection, detecting and labeling a machine without the
    usual AR-Tags (Dataset:

 6. (optional) Merged Exploration and CX Production, explore the field
    and start production as soon as you can
 7. (optional) Planning competition, use a set of defined robot actions
    to plan an entire RCLL game

The Mock-Up RCLL will follow the normal RCLL rules with two major 
exceptions:

 1. a reduced playing field of 7x8m²
 2. only Cyan machines are placed on the field

*Requirements
*

 1. Room to host a 5x5m² playing field
 2. 1-3 Festo Robotino based robots
 3. 2-7 Mock-up stations
 4. Computer to host a RefBox
 5. Camera Setup to record and stream challenges

The camera setup will be examined on 15.06.2021 by the Organizational 
Committee to ensure sufficient visibility of the RefBox, Robots and 
stations to validate the challenge score.

*QUALIFICATION

*All interested teams must submit a Team description paper (TDP) in 
order to qualify. The TDP is limited to 8 pages and must be formatted 
according to the LNCS format:

Deadline for Submission is 31.05.2021.

Part of the Qualification process is a two part workshop on RefBox setup 
and operation, this workshop is mandatory for at least one teammember 
from each registered team. The first part of the workshop consists of a 
tutorial and the second part of a practical exam with attendees 
demonstrating operation of the RefBox. If you fail the exam you have to 
repeat it. You will get a new schedule for it. This process is necessary 
due to the virtual nature of the event and ensures that every team can 
participate in a fair manner.

Optional Qualification Materials include a Team Video and a Team Poster 
to encourage exchange between teams.
