* Call for Participation *
RoboCup 2023 Humanoid Research Demonstration https://humanoid.robocup.org/
July 06 - 09, 2023, Bordeaux, France
===========================================================
The RoboCup Humanoid League invites the research community to apply for
showcasing the latest research and development results that are relevant
for humanoid robots. Researchers are invited to submit their demonstrations
independently of whether they participate in the RoboCup competitions,
symposium or have a RoboCup team. Contributions will be evaluated for
scientific and technical excellence.
Topics of Interest
---------------------------------------
We welcome demonstrations containing new ideas, concepts, practical
studies, and experiment demonstrations relevant to the field of Humanoid
Robotics. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
* Components, joints and mechanics;
* Soft robotics;
* Anthropomorphic vs. non-anthropomorphic;
* Walking, running, jumping and other humanoid locomotion;
* Adaptability and scalability;
* Sensors and perception;
* Control and stability;
* Dealing with falling;
* Reflexes and learning;
* Energy supply and efficiency;
* Robot design and robotic kits;
* Virtual robots and simulation;
* Benchmarking;
* Bipedal robots applied to real problems;
* Education with and for humanoid robots.
Procedure
---------------------------------------
The Humanoid Research Demonstration will take place in one or several
sessions and participating teams are asked to show a demonstration of the
system live in Bordeaux or stream their demonstration from their lab during
the session. As a back-up solution, each team needs to provide a video
demonstration prior to the beginning of the tournament. If the
demonstration is performed in Bordeaux, the Humanoid League will provide a
humanoid league soccer playing field for the demonstration. However, the
members of the Technical Committee of the Humanoid League understand that
for some demonstrations this setup may not be ideal and will try to
accommodate all teams. If a team requires other arrangements for the
demonstration, it must submit a request to the Technical Committee at least
3 months before the competition to allow sufficient time for alternative
arrangements.
Application
---------------------------------------
We invite teams to apply to participate in the Humanoid Research
Demonstration by submitting the following material:
Demonstration Data
* Demonstration title;
* URL of the group’s home page;
* Name of the contact person;
* E-mail address of the contact person;
* Postal address of the contact person.
Demonstration Video
The first part of the material is a video of your robot or robotic part
demonstrating its skills or a brief overview of the software demonstration
if your demonstration does not involve a physical embodiment.
The video must be supplied as a link to it via YouTube. The maximum
duration of the video is 3 minutes. The proponent is responsible to ensure
that the video adheres to YouTube’s TOS (especially in regard to music
copyright) to prevent the video from being blocked for the reviewers.
Hardware Specification
If the demonstration includes any type of hardware to be showcased, a
one-page specification (PDF) for each different type of humanoid type
robot/mechanism used that includes the following:
* Robot/mechanism picture;
* Robot/mechanism name;
* Size of the humanoid type robot/mechanism;
* Weight of the robot/mechanism;
* Robots/mechanisms joint specification;
* Type of sensors used (incl. type of camera(s));
* Computing unit(s);
* Other specifications
Short paper
A short paper describing the robot, robot part of software and its task and
required environment, limited to four (4) pages including text, references,
tables, and figures.
The short paper must follow the LNCS format which can be downloaded from
http://www.springer.com/computer/lncs?SGWID=0-164-6-793341-0. Please pay
special attention to the “Author guidelines” that you’ll be able to find
there.
Plagiarism
=======================================
Plagiarism, loosely the unattributed use of other peoples' words, code, and
ideas is not tolerated in the RoboCup community. See the point “Publishing
Ethics” at
https://www.springer.com/gp/computer-science/lncs/conference-proceedings-gu…
for
a more detailed description. The teams and team members that plagiarize
other peoples' work and present it as their own will be disqualified. For a
first offense, the team and team members will be banned from RoboCup
competition for two years (usually the current and next year). Harsher
penalties will be applied to repeat offenders or extremely serious cases of
plagiarism. A team may be disqualified at any time for plagiarism, even
after the competition has started. RoboCup will not reimburse teams for any
expenses related to their disqualification.
Online Submission
=======================================
All qualification material must be submitted online at
https://submission.robocuphumanoid.com
<https://ddec1-0-en-ctp.trendmicro.com:443/wis/clicktime/v1/query?url=https%…>
Important Dates
=======================================
Humanoid Research Demonstration
* Submission system open: November 20th, 2022
* Submission deadline: April 2nd, 2023
Publication
=======================================
Please note that after the announcement of the qualified teams the
qualified teams submitted material will be made publicly available on the
Humanoid League website. Teams applying for participation, therefore,
implicitly grant the right of publication of their qualification material
to the Humanoid League.
Visa Process
=======================================
If you are a citizen of a country that needs a Visa for traveling to
France, please start the VISA process as soon as you receive your
notification of qualification. If you are not sure if you're eligible for a
VISA-exempt, please consult the official website of the France government
for information, at
https://france-visas.gouv.fr/en/web/france-visas/welcome-page.
