Dear colleagues, We are pleased to announce the opening of the call for contributions to the 2024 edition of the Workshop on Humanoid Soccer Robots (WHSR) , which will be held over a full day during IEEE Humanoids 2024 ( [ https://2024.ieee-humanoids.org/ | https://2024.ieee-humanoids.org/ ] ), Nancy, France Playing soccer is a challenging task and an ideal testbed for humanoid robotics, fostering many multidisciplinary research. The topics range from prototyping new humanoid robots with a robust bipedal locomotion to high level strategy decision making. Full details are available on the website : [ https://whsr-2024.github.io/ | https://whsr-2024.github.io/ ] The workshop will include presentations by two guest speakers: Antonin Raffin from the German Aerospace Center (DLR), who developed Stable-Baselines3, and Rémi Cadene from Hugging Face. Topics Humanoid robots prototyping, Motion planning and control, Perception, Localization, Bipedal locomotion, 3D simulation of humanoid robots, Team coordination, Skill and strategy learning, Dynamic motions, Heterogeneous humanoid robots, Autonomous decisions, Machine learning for robotics Submission instructions Authors are invited to submit full-length extended abstract (up to 2 pages) written in English, and formatted using the IEEE templates. They can present ongoing work, recent results and future directions. Papers accepted by Humanoids 2024 may also be submitted. The submission platform will be soon available on [ https://whsr-2024.github.io/ | https://whsr-2024.github.io/ ] * Submission deadline: October 6, 2024 * Notification of acceptance: October 16, 202 * Workshop date : November 22, 2024 Contact For all questions, please contact the main organizers: [ mailto:gregoire.passault@u-bordeaux.fr | gregoire.passault(a)u-bordeaux.fr ] or [ mailto:melodie.daniel@u-bordeaux.fr | melodie.daniel(a)u-bordeaux.fr ] Best regards, The Humanoid Soccer Robots Workshop organizing committee Mélodie Daniel (University of Bordeaux, France) Grégoire Passault, (University of Bordeaux, France) Alessandra Rossi, (University of Hertfordshire, UK) Sven Behnke (University of Bonn, Germany)

Request for Participation and Sponsorship in RoboCup 2025
by Kondwani Mbewe 03 Oct '24

Dear RoboCup Administration, I hope this message finds you well. My name is Derrick Kondwani Mbewe, and I am a first-year Artificial Intelligence student at Texila American International University in Zambia. I recently came across your esteemed competition and was profoundly inspired by its vision and impact. I am eager to participate in the upcoming RoboCup 2025, specifically in the Humanoid category. However, I am currently unfamiliar with the registration process and the necessary steps to form a team. Could you kindly provide me with detailed guidance on how my university team can register and participate in this exciting event? Additionally, I would like to inquire about the possibility of receiving a financial grant for a robotics kit and sponsorship to attend the competition. Such support would be invaluable in helping us achieve our goal of competing at an international level. Your assistance and response would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your time and consideration. Yours sincerely, Derrick Kondwani Mbewe Zambian Youth Advocate and AI Student Texila American International University
