Research Project Learning Setplays from Demonstration - Call for Contributions
by Marco Simões 20 Jan '22

20 Jan '22

Hi, We have been working in the last years on a project in our lab named "Learning Setplays from Demonstration." The main goal of this project is to provide evidence that we can catch human's intuitive knowledge in a domain and use it to feed a massive dataset for robots to learn how to cooperate to solve problems in this domain. At this time, we are gathering contributions worldwide to populate the dataset. So we ask your contribution in the following way: 1- Watch some robot soccer games 2- Locate situations where you think you can demonstrate a setplay for a team to perform better in that situation 3-Create your demonstration 4- Send us several demonstrations To turn it easier for you, we have developed the BahiaRT's Learning Setplays from Demonstration Toolkit that encapsulates in Docker containers all tools you need to watch games and create setplays demonstrations. The following links contain all information you need: - The BahiaRT's Learning Setplays from Demonstration Toolkit - https://bitbucket.org/bahiart3d/setplaysdataset/src/master/ - Setup instructions: https://bitbucket.org/bahiart3d/setplaysdataset/src/master/README.md - Usage instructions: https://bitbucket.org/bahiart3d/setplaysdataset/src/master/USAGE.md - Video tutorial: https://youtu.be/h_s8rA2IS88 At the end of this project, we will provide: 1- A public massive setplays dataset organized using our fuzzy clustering strategy ready to be used for any soccer team (not only 3D simulation teams) 2- Source code of the dataset organizer and the deep reinforcement learning engine used for teams training. 3- Results published (Ph.D. thesis and several papers). You can see some earlier publications of this project at the end of this message. We appreciate your contribution. Anyone who enjoys soccer can contribute. You do not need any experience with robot soccer or 3D Soccer Simulation. I hope you have fun and send us several setplays demonstrations in the following weeks. If you have any doubts, please send a message to teambahiart(a)gmail.com. Best, Marco Earlier Publications: [1]M. A. C.

It facilitates experimenting using different learning and optimization techniques by providing a simulated environment. Since the games are played with teams of 11 players, the league is also a very good environment for experimenting on multi-robot coordination methodologies. We would like to invite you to participate in the RoboCup 2022 Soccer Simulation League 3D competition, which will take place from July 11 – July 17, in Bangkok, Thailand. If you are interested in participating, please register your team and follow the procedure as outlined below. »»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»» Important Dates »»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»» February 28, 2022 (23:59 AoE): Team Qualification Materials Submission Deadline March 20, 2022: Qualified Teams Announcement July 11 – 17 2022: Competition »»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»» Waiver of the team fee for NEW Teams »»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»» The RoboCup Federation is pleased to continue with a waiver of the team fee for the 2022 International RoboCup competition for NEW teams in the major leagues. A NEW team is defined as a team with a new name and all of whose team members have never participated in an annual international RoboCup competition. The waiver concerns only the team fee and does not imply any waiver of fees for team members. In addition, the 3D soccer simulation league will issue a certificate to the best NEW team in the 3D competition. »»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»» Pre-Registration »»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»» No Pre-Registration required this year. »»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»» Qualification »»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»» Qualification is based on a team’s current performance, previous achievements in RoboCup, and scientific contributions in relevant areas in past years, cooperation in the 3D mailing list, and development of the simulator. Also, up to six slots will be assigned in priority to new teams. In RoboCup 2022, up to 24 teams will participate in the 3D Soccer Simulation competition. The top three teams from RoboCup 2021 (UT Austin Villa, magmaOffenburg, Apollo3D) are automatically qualified after submitting an appropriate Team Description Paper (TDP). The other 21 teams will be selected through a qualification process. The qualification deadline is the 28th of February 2022. Qualification material consists of: 1. Team Description Paper (TDP) The TDP should describe your research focus and ideas implemented in the team. It should clearly describe your own work and your contributions in addition to explicitly specifying what you have used from others’ efforts (including, but not limited to, any source code released by other teams or their scientific work). In qualification, teams must be judged based on their own work, so failing to acknowledge the work of others could result in immediate disqualification. The length of the TDP must be at least four (4) pages and should not exceed twelve (12) pages in Springer LNCS Style. <https://www.springer.com/gp/computer-science/lncs/conference-proceedings-gu…> Please submit the TDP only as a PDF document, with the name of your team in the filename, i.e. Teamname_TDP.pdf . 2. A List of Publications and Achievements on previous RoboCup Symposia and in other relevant international journals and conferences. Please do not include TDPs that you submitted to RoboCup in previous years. Please also include your team’s achievements in RoboCup and related events of previous years. If you are new to the RoboCup 3D community, you may also include references to relevant research done by your team that shows its potential. Please submit the contribution list as a PDF document, with the name of your team in the filename, i.e. Teamname_list.pdf . 3. Binary All teams should submit a working binary of their team. The OC will use these binaries to play 11 vs 11 matches, under the rules and with the simulator used during the 2021 competitions <https://ssim.robocup.org/3d-simulation/3d-rules/>. Submitted binaries should adhere to the following: – Two scripts should be included: a startup script, called start.sh, to run a full team of agents, and a kill script, called kill.sh, to fully kill all agents of the team. The requirements and examples of these scripts can be found on the rules page <https://ssim.robocup.org/3d-simulation/3d-rules/>. – All necessary external libraries should be included and be used locally by the binary. The OC will not make an effort to install extra libraries on the qualification systems. A Java runtime can be assumed to be available. – The binaries should not create any output, be it through standard output or to files and no graphical (debugging) interface should be used. – The binary should be compiled for 64 bit systems and should work on a modern GNU/Linux distribution, such as Ubuntu 18.04. You may also send 32-bit binaries, but it is your responsibility to make sure that it runs correctly on 64-bit distributions. You can assume that basic 32-bit libraries (e.g. libc) are installed on the 64 bit OS. To summarize: the binary should run out of the box on a standard, clean, headless system in a restricted sandbox environment with the simulation server (possibly) running on a different machine. The OC will not try to fix errors. When a binary fails to run, the respective team will be notified and will have to resubmit their material, before the deadline. Please put all qualification material in a folder with your team name, create a tarball named teamname.tar.gz and upload it to the registration form <https://forms.gle/2Yonrwyjjig9H3pi7>. You should upload only one file including all your qualification materials. If everything works fine, you will receive a confirmation. If you did not receive any confirmation within two (2) days, please contact the Organizing Committee <https://ssim.robocup.org/3d-simulation/3d-committees#OC>. If you encounter any problem sending your qualification materials please don’t hesitate to contact the OC <https://ssim.robocup.org/3d-simulation/3d-committees#OC>. Teams will be qualified based on the submitted materials as described in this CfP. The following general qualification limitations will also be considered: – One-Third-Rule: The so-called One-Third-Rule rule states that only up to 1/3 of the participants in a competition may be from the same country. – One-Team-Per-Institute-Rule: The One-Team-Per-Institute-Rule states that only one team from each university or research institute is allowed to participate in a competition. Note that it is okay for different teams from the same institute to participate in different competitions, e.g. 2D and 3D soccer. »»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»» 3D Soccer Simulation League Resources »»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»» Important resources with more information on 3D Simulation League are: – <https://archive.robocup.info/Soccer/Simulation/3D/>Tutorials for Newcomers <https://ssim.robocup.org/3d-simulation/3d-tools/> – RoboCup Competitions archive <https://archive.robocup.info/Soccer/Simulation/3D/> (TDPs, binaries, logs, and replays) – Watch the 2021 Final in your browser!!! <https://archive.robocup.info/Soccer/Simulation/3D/replays/RoboCup/2021/Elim…> – 3D Main Simulator <https://gitlab.com/robocup-sim/SimSpark/-/releases> – Prebuilt binaries from OpenSUSE build service for openSUSE and Ubuntu <https://software.opensuse.org//download.html?project=science%3ASimSpark&pac…> – 3D Viewer <https://github.com/magmaOffenburg/RoboViz> – 3D agent source code releases <https://ssim.robocup.org/3d-simulation/3d-tools/#basecodes> (includes several champion teams) (These source codes include Omni-directional walks, getup behaviors, kick motions, and interface to SimSpark/Gazebo simulator) Best Regards, RoboCup 2022 3D Soccer Simulation Organizing Committee -- Marco Antonio Costa Simões Nucleo de Arquitetura de Computadores e Sistemas Operacionais - ACSO - http://www.acso.uneb.br Bahia Robotics Team - http://www.acso.uneb.br/bahiart Departamento de Ciências Exatas e da Terra - Campus I Universidade do Estado da Bahia - UNEB Mestre em Ciência da Computação - UFPE
