Dear RoboCup SPL Teams,
The RMIT University RedbackBots team is excited as we gear up for our participation in the main competition at the 2023 RoboCup SPL Tournament in Bordeaux, France. Today, we would like to express our gratitude and acknowledge contributions from various sources that have shaped the codebase for the RMIT University RedbackBots in 2023.
We acknowledge the use of the 2019 code release of rUNSWift, in accordance with the license conditions, as the foundation of our codebase. We also acknowledge their support in running aspects of their codebase and providing training data/models for vision modules. RedBackBots has made significant enhancements to robot behaviours, skills, audio detection, communication, and various code adaptations throughout. We have notable focus on adapting the build and sync scripts, vision, and infrastructure.
We acknowledge the use of the Build infrastructure from the B-Human 2022 code release, in accordance with the license conditions. Specifically, we note the use of the infrastructure to build and create a bootable Nao-Image, and the use of the Nao V6 Camera driver that is compatible with the Nao-image. We also acknowledge the contributions of NaoDevils to this infrastructure. We have integrated this infrastructure with the rUNSWift codebase and intend to release this work as part of the requirements of the 2023 rules.
We have also acknowledged this code-use in our SPL qualification application.
The expertise and insights of these teams, and the wider RoboCup SPL community has been a substantial aid in our team's software development. We are keen to contribute to the advancement of the RoboCup community. We look forward to joining the community in person, forging new friendships, and witnessing outstanding robot soccer matches.
Sincerely, RedbackBots School of Computing Technologies, RMIT University
