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

Dear Teams, currently we start planning the RoboCup GermanOpen 2023 (27.04. - 30.04.2023) this time in Kassel. It is a new place. But to get an estimate of the needed space for tables, chairs and fields, we would like to know, * if you would like to travel to Kassel to participate in RoboCup German Open 2023 and with how many members, * if you would like to participate in RoboCup German Open 2023 remotely (there has no decision made if this will be offered in the end) and you would just send robots. * if you currently do not know. It would be really nice, if you could send me an email by the 11th of September. Kind regards and have a nice weekend, Patrick Göttsch
