I was at RoboCup last week in Sydney as part of the Junior League. Here’s a quick video tour of RoboCup, and a behind the scenes look at the Rapidly Manufactured Robot Challenge (RMRC), which is part of the RoboCupRescue Robot competition.

For the final stage of the @Home competition, the top 2 teams were selected in each of the sub-leagues (domestic, social and open platforms) to perform demos inside a 10 minute window followed by 5 minutes of questions from the judges. The scoring judges were comprised by trustee board members, external judges and members of the technical and organizing committees.

The Standard Platform League’s Competition Day 3 at RoboCup 2019 was busy with main competition games, mixed team games and a directional whistle challenge.

After three test blocks, about half of the teams in all three sub-leagues advanced to the 2nd round of the competition.

Twenty teams are competing in the Standard Platform League (SPL) at RoboCup 2019 in Sydney this week. However, the experience and skills of the league’s teams vary greatly, from six-time champion B-Human to new teams from Russia and Colombia. Although teams have been onsite for two days preparing, today was the first day of competition.

I’ll be reporting three sub-leagues of RoboCup @Home (domestic standard, social, and open platform).

RoboCup 2019 in Sydney opens to the public tomorrow, but participants have already been preparing onsite for two days. There are fifteen RoboCup leagues that are grouped into five categories — RoboCupSoccer, RoboCupRescue, RoboCup@Home, RoboCupIndustrial and RoboCupJunior — and live coverage on AIHub will touch each league.

However, I’ll personally be covering the Standard Platform League (SPL) with one post per day throughout RoboCup 2019.

RoboCup is happening this week at the International Convention Centre in Sydney, Australia. The event is a vehicle to promote robotics and AI research through exciting robot competitions powered by 3,500 participants from 40 countries.
