11 Jul '22

Hi, We announce the release of BahiaRT Gym: an open-source customized Gym environment for RCSSSERVER3D. This implementation is independent of our team code and can be used by any team. It supports both single-agent and multiple-agent training using a Proxy architecture. It is fully compatible with stable-baselines3 and gym API. It is licensed as open software and can be used by the community. Contributions are welcome in form of issues reporting and pull requests to enhance or fix bugs on the tool. The repository including documentation is available at https://bitbucket.org/bahiart3d/bahiart-gym Please feel free to ask any questions on this list or on the official SSIM3D Discord Server. Best Regards, Team BahiaRT -- Bahia Robotics Team: a scientific competition team Nucleo de Arquitetura de Computadores, Sistemas Inteligentes e Robótica - ACSO - http://www.acso.uneb.br Bahia Robotics Team - http://www.acso.uneb.br/bahiart Universidade do Estado da Bahia - UNEB

RC-HL 2022: Invitation to participate at Humanoid League Satellite Event
by Alessandra Rossi 05 Jul '22

05 Jul '22

Dear RoboCuppers, The Humanoid League is organising the event "Open Humanoid Competition" as part of the Symposium Satellite Events on 14 July 2022, 19:00-21:00 (local time) Bangkok, Thailand. This satellite event is meant to be a discussion group during which we will foster discussions between members of different Leagues, trustees, members of the Technical and Organising Committees to tackle some fundamental requirements to facilitate new teams to join or participate in the games of the Humanoid League. Best regards, Alessandra on behalf of the Humanoid League TCs *Abstract*: "Since the Humanoid League's first games in 2002, the competitions progressively developed its scientific challenges to successfully meet the goal of RoboCup to play against the human world soccer champion in 2050. Such increasing scientific difficulties have been catching the attention and interest of researchers, but, at the same time, make it prohibitive for new and, in consequence, often less experienced teams to join the Humanoid League. The main difficulties faced by new teams are related both to the cost of taller robots, and the challenges of developing hardware and software for such taller robots. We also expect that such costs for research, components and equipment for one or a full team of humanoid robots may soon become inapproachable for new teams. For these reasons, in this satellite event for the 25th RoboCup International Symposium, we want to focus on addressing the challenges and development of the creation an initial process or a sub-event to the Humanoid League main competition that can ease the path for new teams and to guide them towards a final full participation. To this extent, we will foster discussions between members of different Leagues, trustees, members of the Technical and Organising Committees to tackle some fundamental requirements to facilitate new teams to join the Humanoid League." *Website*: https://humanoid.robocup.org/hl-2022/satellite-event/ -- Dr. Alessandra Rossi Assistant Professor PRISCA research lab University of Naples Federico II, Naples, Italy Visiting Researcher Fellow of the Higher Education Academy Adaptive Systems Research Group University of Hertfordshire, United Kingdom
