B-Human Code Release 2021

28 Oct '22

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 -- _______________________________________________________________ Dr. Tim Laue Multi-Sensor Interactive Systems Group Faculty 3 - Mathematics and Computer Science University of Bremen Cartesium 0.53 Enrique-Schmidt-Str. 5 28359 Bremen www.informatik.uni-bremen.de/~timlaue Telephone: +49 (421) 218-64209

GameController RoboCup 2022

24 May '22

Dear teams, there is a preliminary GameController release for RoboCup 2022 at https://github.com/RoboCup-SPL/GameController/releases/tag/RoboCup2022 (including release notes and a compiled zip archive below Assets). To those teams participating in RoboCup 2022: Could you please check your team name (as you wish it to be displayed by the GameController/TCM), home/away jersey colors (GameController/config/spl/teams.cfg in the zip archive or resources/config/spl/teams.cfg in the repository) and team logo (file named as your team number in the same directory) and send any change request until *June 1*? I am aware that some changes for the 7v7 competition may be necessary if teams use the default jerseys and that remote teams can not use their own jerseys, so if you have special requests here you can contact me as well. If you happen to find easter eggs, bugs or other problems, please report them either directly on GitHub, on Discord, or as an email to me, whatever fits you best. Best regards, Arne Hasselbring

Hi RoboCup TC, Thank you for writing to us At this stage, we are unable to participate in-person due to RMIT travel rules. I have been waiting on RMIT travel rules update, but can’t guarantee that by the time of the competition. At this stage, we would try to participate remotely in ta couple of the technical challenges, if possible.
