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
