Hi RoboCuppers!
The team B-Human announces the availability of our 2021 code release at
https://github.com/bhuman/BHumanCodeRelease
It is the most advanced B-Human code ever! Many thousands of lines of open source code together with a detailed documentation. The software released is a cleaned-up version of the system we used in the 2021 competitions. In contrast to previous years, the documentation is from now on split into two parts: A PDF that briefly describes the approaches that have been implemented since 2019 is located in the GitHub repository. All technical details, such as the installation guide and descriptions of our software architecture and tools, are now in a separate wiki that you can find at https://wiki.b-human.de/coderelease2021/.
The improvements that have been made in the previous two years include (but are not limited to):
- A fully lighting independent vision system, including
- a CNN-based field border detection
- A procedure for autonomous camera calibration
- A new motion infrastructure
- Higher walking stability, based on
- improved support foot switching,
- in-walk kicks that are capable to adjust to the ball position, and
- the detection of walking on another robot’s foot and acting accordingly.
Our software is released with its own 3-D simulator. Microsoft Windows 64 bit, Linux 64 bit, and macOS (on Apple Silicon as well as on Intel processors) are fully supported.
Please note that the new code is released within the same repository that we used for our previous releases. The old releases are marked with tags in that repository. Furthermore, please also note that our license has changed for the first time in a long while.
We strongly believe in sharing our developments and look forward to the code releases of others.
Have fun :-)
Team B-Human

Dear Robocuppers,
The first round of games for RC-HL virtual season just ended. We streamed the last game of the Round Robin phase last Sunday (20 March).
We will now enter in the Quarterfinals, which they will be streamed on April 3rd starting at 10am (CEST time).
The Semi-Final and Final will be streamed on April 17th from the joint event German Open Replacement Event (GORE) organised by SPL and Humanoid League which takes place in Hamburg (Germany) from 12.04. to 17.04.22.
At the end of the games, RC-HL virtual season organisers will hold a three days event on April 28-30, 2022 focused on exploring the sim2real transfer topic. It will be a great opportunity for both exploring future collaborations between different leagues, and sharing knowledge and experiences of applying realistic computational resources and scenario to the virtual competition, and the other way around. We welcome proposals for half hour workshops. More info on how to submit your proposal are here -> https://humanoid.robocup.org/hl-vs2022/rc-hl-virtual-season-workshops/call-…
Looking forward to receive your valuable inputs and contributions.
Best regards,
Alessandra
On behalf of the RC-HL virtual organisation committee
More info on our website: https://humanoid.robocup.org/hl-vs2022
We will be streaming all of our games on Twitch Field A

Dear SPL Teams,
This email is a*late call for applications to participate *in RoboCup
2022 Standard Platform League in some capacity, either on-site as normal
or remotely in a limited capacity.
While we encourage all teams that are able to travel, even with a small
number of member, to join us in Bangkok, the TC is aware that some teams
have limitations on their ability to travel to Bangkok for the 2022
competition. Therefore, we would also like to encourage as many teams as
possible to participate in RoboCup, whether on-site or in a remote
setting. This is to maintain connections with the teams in our community
and encourage teams to continue in their RoboCup research and software
development.
Teams competing on-site will be able to participate in the soccer
competition and challenges. Teams that compete remotely, would be able
to participate only in the following technical challenges:
* Visual Referee Challenge
* Dynamic Ball handling Challenge
* Open Research Challenge
Remote teams will be unable to participate in the soccer competition, or
the 7 vs 7 Technical Challenge. This is because of limited on-site
technical and volunteer support, along with an insufficient pool of robots.
If you have questions about this late call for applications to
participate on-site or remotely, please email the RoboCup TC
(rc-spl-tc(a)lists.robocup.org).
Additionally, if you are unsure about the teams status and unable to
apply by the deadline, but may wish to make a late application, please
express your interest in a late application by the deadline.
Details of the call follow below:
Late call for applications to participate in RoboCup 2022 Standard
Platform League
spl.robocup.org <https://spl.robocup.org/>
Monday 11th July through Sunday 17th July 2022 Bangkok, Thailand
2022.robocup.org <https://2022.robocup.org/>
RoboCup <https://spl.robocup.org/> is an international initiative that
fosters research and education in Robotics and Artificial Intelligence
through a variety of competitions (RoboCupSoccer, RoboCupRescue,
RoboCup@Home, RoboCupJunior) involving mostly multi-robot systems.
RoboCup currently includes a number of different robot soccer leagues
that focus on different research challenges.
*The Standard Platform League (SPL)* is characterized by all the teams
using an identical robot platform. Participating researchers focus on
algorithmic development for fully autonomous robots, i.e., robots that
operate with no external control.
In this late call we encourage applications to participate in the
RoboCup 2022 SPL either on-site in Bangkok or remotely.
On-site participation
The SPL at RoboCup 2022 will use V6, V5 or older versions of the NAO
humanoid robot manufactured by SoftBank Robotics
<https://www.softbankrobotics.com/emea/en/nao>. The SPL robot soccer
team competition games at RoboCup 2022 will be played indoor and outdoor
between teams of five robots on a 6m x 9m playing surface. Teams should
be able to play on a randomly assigned indoor or outdoor field within
one hour.
The RoboCup 2022 SPL will host:
* A 5 vs. 5 team competition as the main competition of the event.
* A 7 vs. 7 competition.
* A visual referee technical challenge.
* A dynamic ball handling technical challenge.
* A video analysis and statistics open research challenge.
The 5 vs. 5 team competition will consist of a similar number of games
for most teams compared to recent years. The structure from 2019 will be
used to allow all teams to play games against teams with similar skill
levels. See Appendix A.4 of the preliminary rulebook
<https://spl.robocup.org/downloads/> for more details. The teams
participating in the team competition should also compete in some of the
additional technical challenges.
The 7 vs. 7 side competition extends the ideas from the mixed team
competition, and 1 vs. 1 remote challenge from RoboCup 2021 to a
standardized 7 vs. 7 NAO V6 on-site competition. Its goal is to
encourage more collaborative game play and offer a chance for teams to
work together more closely. Participating in 7 vs. 7 is recognized as
participation in a technical challenge.
Additional technical challenges offered at the competition are the
visual referee challenge and the dynamic ball handling challenge.
The open research challenge aims to provide the SPL with long term
performance statistics based on video analysis. Please note that the
open research challenge comes with additional deadlines as mentioned in
the rulebook. All challenges will be detailed further with the release
of the SPL rules document.
To assist in adoption of V6 Robots source code examples and
documentation regarding V6 robots were published on the SPL website
<https://spl.robocup.org/v6-support/>. One can also find example code
working with V6 Robots in the code released by participating teams.
These examples allow teams to adapt their competition code from recent
years more easily to encourage use of V6 Robots. If you need access to
the RoboCup NAOqi Image and the specific documentation, please write an
email (mentioning your team affiliation) to rc-spl-tc(a)lists.robocup.org
<mailto:rc-spl-tc@lists.robocup.org>.
Remote participation in challenges
For those teams that are not able to travel and compete on-site, we
offer the possibility of remote participation in the following
challenges:
* Visual Referee Technical Challenge
* Dynamic Ball handling Technical Challenge
* A video analysis and statistics open research challenge
Remote teams will be unable to participate in the soccer
competition, or the 7 vs 7 Technical Challenge.
Teams that wish to compete remotely may do so via a live stream of
their technical challenge performance at their assigned time,
similar to participation in RoboCup 2021. (For the dynamic ball
handling challenge the TC is currently considering a limited on-site
robot pool to allow teams to participate if they do not have 6
functional robots with which to conduct the challenge demonstration.
However, a final decision on this has not yet been made.)
Qualification
All interested teams (whether participating on-site or remotely) must
submit an original qualification document. For the qualification
document to be considered, it must (1) be no longer than *6 pages* and
(2) include all the following information in *sections with the
specified headings*:
1. *Team Information:* the team name, the team leader(s), and the
university/company affiliation(s) of the team
2. *Code Usage:* Acknowledge the team’s use of any other team’s code
(1) previously from 2017 to present and (2) anticipated at RoboCup
2022. If code is used from other teams, is this code integrated into
a code base that is mainly designed by the applying team? If the
applying team does not use any other team’s code, state so.
For further details, please have a look into the rule book, section
A.1 <https://spl.robocup.org/downloads/>.
3. *Own Contribution:* Describe in detail the ‘research publishable’
significant advancements the applying team has made and is going to
use at RoboCup 2022, in accordance with the rule book, section A.1
<https://spl.robocup.org/downloads/>.
4. *Past History:* provide game results in RoboCup Open competitions as
well as main RoboCup competitions from 2018 onward. Include
opponents and game scores from each competition in a table. State if
the team plans to participate in any RoboCup Open competitions or
friendlies prior to RoboCup 2022.
5. *Impact:* What is the impact of the team’s participation and
research in RoboCup on (1) the SPL, (2) the team’s university/community?
6. *Video presentation:* Include a link to a video (maximum 5 minutes
long, uploaded on the team’s web site or on some video server) that
demonstrates the status of the team. The organizing committees use
the video to determine the readiness of the team to compete
effectively, and hence should focus on the team’s ability to play
soccer. Teams who did not participate in the team competition at
RoboCup 2019 or any challenge at RoboCup 2021 *must* include footage
of at least one robot attempting to kick off and score (this footage
must be captured as a single wide shot with no cuts). If robots from
multiple teams are active in the footage (e.g., game footage),
please include a textual overlay or additional document denoting
which robots belong to the applying team for every scene. Videos of
simulation contributions will also be accepted, but only when a real
robot is unavailable. Preference will be given to teams that use
real robots to show soccer skills in their video.
7. *Other:* Present any other information that you believe supports
your application.
If your application mentions more than one e-mail address, please
specify which one should be used to contact your team regarding your
application.
Submission and Evaluation
All applications with the (pre-)qualification material must be submitted
by*13**th of April 2022*, by email to rc-spl-tc(a)lists.robocup.org
<mailto:rc-spl-tc@lists.robocup.org>.
Applications must not be sent to personal SPL TC/OC email addresses and
must not contain video attachments.
Note that applying serves as a statement of commitment to participate in
the RoboCup 2022 SPL.
The organizing committees are aware of the ongoing COVID situation and
assume that all applications are subject to withdrawal due to COVID.
Applications are not required to mention uncertainties related to COVID
to avoid negative effects on future applications. We would rather
encourage teams to plan optimistically and sign up with the possibility
of withdrawing if situation requires it.
For situations other than COVID: If you have doubts regarding the
ability of your team to participate (due to funding, visas, etc.),
please apply by the deadline but note this in your application.
Declining to participate in any competition after the official early
registration period has opened may negatively affect future applications
(the later you decline, the worse it will affect future applications).
Teams are encouraged to consider joint participation. Joint proposals
will be judged on combined merit.
Applications will be evaluated to consider a variety of components
including:
1. Potential to play competitive games or participate in challenges at
RoboCup 2022 (demonstrated ability to play soccer, previous results,
etc.)
2. Contributions (and potential contributions) to league (code
releases/papers, active in organization, developing own code, etc.)
3. Diversity (region, team make-up, unique characteristics, etc.)
Late qualification decisions will be announced shortly after the late
application deadline above.
Robot Acquisition
Teams who submit an intent to participate and become qualified will be
eligible for potential future special robot pricing. Special robot
pricing for team competing in RoboCup Events are still being discussed.
Updates about special prices will be announced if offers and conditions
are finalized.

Dear RoboCuppers,
The Technical and Virtual Organising committees of the Humanoid League invite proposals for Workshops that will be held as part of the Humanoid League Virtual Season on April, 28-30, 2022. The event will be fully online and free of attendance.
The theme of this three-days event is sim2real transfer. In particular, we want to teams the opportunity to share their knowledge and experiences of applying realistic computational resources and scenario to the virtual competition, and the other way around. A second aim is too have a specific roundtable to talk about possible ideas for collaboration between the 3Dsim and the Humanoid League. However, inputs and contributions from different leagues are valuable and appreciated.
The event will be organised through different time-zones to allow the participations from all over the world. Detailed schedule of the event will be posted on the website of the Humanoid League email and social media.
Website: https://humanoid.robocup.org/
Twitter: @HumanoidLRC
IMPORTANT DATES

Hi everyone,
since the defender images for the dynamic ball handling challenge need
to be handed in in a few days, they must already be compatible with a
GameController that will be used at RoboCup. Therefore, I'd like to
notify you about the changes in RoboCupGameControlData.h (which you can
find here:
https://github.com/RoboCup-SPL/GameController/blob/master/include/RoboCupGa…).
I hope that this file does not need to be changed again for RoboCup.
Otherwise, I will make sure that at least for the Dynamic Ball Handling
Challenge there is a GameController that can handle both the current
version of the packet and the one that will be current then (because I
guess that would be what the attackers use).
The changes in RoboCupGameControlData compared to 2021 are:
- increased version number
- increased MAX_NUM_PLAYERS to 7 (affects the size of TeamInfo and
therefore RoboCupGameControlData)
- updated COMPETITION_TYPE macros
- added messageBudget field to TeamInfo - indicates how many messages a
team has left
RoboCupGameControlReturnData has also changed (this is what makes robots
show up as active in the GameController):
https://github.com/RoboCup-SPL/GameController/commit/a9f113e2f0f0e40ac6deca…
It is now similar to the SPLStandardMessage, such that a TCM running on
the GC computer could still visualize the robots' poses and ball
observations at an acceptable rate (remember that this is unicast to the
GC host anyway). Although the return packets are already received by the
TCM, merging them into the visualization is still work in progress.
Best regards,
Arne Hasselbring

Dear teams,
this is a mail dealing with the official registration for the GORE_3
from the 12.04. till 17.04.22 in Hamburg, Germany.
You can always find the latest information here on our website:
https://gore-event.github.io/
*GORE_3 - 2022 Registration Fees and Deadlines*:
MAJOR FEES:
* Major Team €200
* Major Participant (Faculty/Staff/Student) €75
* Major Participant late registration €100
TEAM REGISTRATION:
* Until March 20, 2022
PARTICIPANT REGISTRATION (ON-SITE):
* Until March 20, 2022
Note: Remote teams only need to register the team.
The *official invoice will be sent out at the beginning of April* with
possible reduced costs due to sponsors.
*GORE_3 - 2022 Registration*:
For the registration process the team leader(s) collects all
participants (including themselves) and then fills out this registration
form: https://forms.gle/Qfg2MzPutGzGRpot7
/All data entered in the registration form will only be used for the
purpose of registration, payment processing and creation of badges.
Directly after the event this data will be deleted!/
Since we have some teams that only participate remotely and cannot ship
robots we ask all teams to provide a few robots for a shared robot pool.
These robots can always be used for your own team if you need them and
Softbank Robotics will be onsite for direct repairs!
Shortly before the event, we will send out a document regarding the use
of photos and videos taken during the event, which all participants must
sign and bring with them. More information on this in a later mail.
/Note: /In order to modify the number of participants you can send a
copy of the form to your mail (slider at the end of the registration
form) and with this you can modify your registration. Or the
registration form must be completely filled out another time (only the
last submission before the deadline counts). Also late registration of
participants, after the deadline, is possible but at a higher fee for
the late registered participants!
*GORE_3 - 2022 Venue*:
For teams participating on-site, the venue is located in the
Handelskammer
<https://www.hk24.de/en/servicemarken/event-management/room-boersensaal-1159…>
(Chamber of Commerce) of Hamburg. There we use the "Börsensaal" where
two SPL fields will be set up. Around them are the team zones, Softbank
Robotics, a Junior competition and space for the audience.
Since the venue is located in the center of Hamburg and there are enough
hotels around it, we did not book a contingent at certain hotels.
VENUE ADDRESS:
* Adolphsplatz 1
20457 Hamburg
Germany
<https://www.google.de/maps/place/Handelskammer+Hamburg/@53.549812,9.9888133…>
Instructions for the on-site delivery or the exact address for shipping
robots will be available in a later mail.
*GORE_3 - 2022 Covid19/Corona Rules*:
Due to the current Covid19/Corona situation, we will be paying attention
to the health of all participants at this event. Therefore, access (both
participants and spectators) is only possible under the *2G+ rule
(vaccinated or recovered both with an additional official negative test
or for boostered people a self-test)*. For this you need a proof which
is valid in the EU.
Even if many of the Corona rules could be dropped before the event, we
currently assume, since we are staying with many people in an indoor
area, that we require you to wear a medical mask all the time and do an
official Corona test or self-test every day.
All in all let's create a safe environment together so that no one has
to worry about their health and can concentrate on playing robot soccer.
*GORE_3 - 2022 Drinks and food*:
For the thirst in between we provide refrigerators from which you can
take drinks at the retail price.
We do not offer catering/food booths because we are located in the
center of Hamburg and there are many possibilities around to get food.
*GORE_3 - 2022 SPL-Rules*:
You can find the adapted SPL rules with added robot safety enhancements
from the last GORE_1/2 under the following link:
https://github.com/RoboCup-SPL/Rules/tree/GORE_3
In general, please note that we will already play with the
new*Event-Based-Communication* at the GORE_3. Also, some of the robot
safety rules from the previous GORE rules could been relaxed and this
