RoboCup and RCAP https://qingdao2024.robocupap.org/2022/01/29/what-is-robocup/ Sat, 29 Jan 2022 13:38:28 +0000 https://aiorbits.com/?p=1467 RoboCup is an international scientific initiative with the goal to advance the state of the art of intelligent robots. When established in 1997, the original mission was to field a team of robots capable of winning against the human soccer World Cup champions by 2050.

RoboCup Asia-Pacific (RCAP) is a super-regional headquarter representing the RoboCup Federation coordinating RoboCup activities in the Asia Pacific region. RCAP headquarters is located in Singapore.

Pushing the State-Of-The-Art

It is our intention to use RoboCup as a vehicle to promote robotics and AI research, by offering a publicly appealing, but formidable challenge. One of the effective ways to promote science and engineering research is to set a challenging long term goal. When the accomplishment of such a goal has significant social impact, it is called a grand challenge project. Building a robot that plays soccer will not by itself generate significant social and economic impact, but the accomplishment will certainly be considered a major achievement for the field. We call this kind of project a landmark project. RoboCup is a landmark project as well as a standard problem.

The Dream

We proposed that the ultimate goal of the RoboCup Initiative to be stated as follows:

By the middle of the 21st century, a team of fully autonomous humanoid robot soccer players shall win a soccer game, complying with the official rules of FIFA, against the winner of the most recent World Cup.

We propose that this goal will be one of the grand challenges shared by the robotics and AI communities for the next 50 years. This goal may sound overly ambitious given the state of the art of technology today. Nevertheless, we believe it is important that such a long-range goal should be set and pursued. It took only 50 years from the Wright Brothers’ first aircraft to the Apollo mission, to send a man to the moon and safely return him to the earth. It also took only 50 years, from the invention of the digital computer to Deep Blue, which beat the human world champion in chess. Building a humanoid soccer player requires an equally long period and extensive efforts of a broad range of researchers, and the goal will not be met in the near future.

RCAP 2021 RCJ Rescue Simulation (CoSpace) https://qingdao2024.robocupap.org/2022/01/29/rcap-2021-rcj-rescue-simulation-cospace/ Sat, 29 Jan 2022 13:34:26 +0000 https://aiorbits.com/?p=1464 CoSpaceRobot is the official competition platform for both RoboCupJunior Rescue Simulation and RoboCup Asia-Pacific (RCAP) CoSpace Challenge.

It is an educational platform that provides a fun and engaging way for students to get involved in programming & algorithm development while developing their computational thinking skills.

In the on-site CoSpace Rescue, teams are required to build a real robot, develop and program appropriate strategies for both real and virtual autonomous robots to navigate through the real and virtual worlds and collect objects, while competing with another team’s robot that is searching and collecting objects in the same real and virtual worlds.

RCAP 2021 RCJ OnStage https://qingdao2024.robocupap.org/2022/01/29/rcap-2021-rcj-onstage/ Sat, 29 Jan 2022 13:30:15 +0000 https://aiorbits.com/?p=1461

RoboCupJunior OnStage invites teams to design, build and program creative and autonomous physical robots. The objective is to create either a live or streamed, robotic performance of 1 to 2 minutes, that uses a wide variety of technology to engage an audience. This includes a range of possible performances, such as dance, storytelling, theatre, or art installations. The performance may involve music, but this is optional. Teams are encouraged to be creative, innovative, and entertaining, in both the design of the robots and in the design of the overall performance.

RCAP CoSpace Autonomous Driving U12 Teams Presentation @ RCAP 2021 Aichi Japan https://qingdao2024.robocupap.org/2022/01/29/rcap-cospace-autonomous-driving-u12-teams-presentation-rcap-2021-aichi-japan/ Sat, 29 Jan 2022 13:18:42 +0000 https://aiorbits.com/?p=1453 CoSpaceRobot is the official competition platform for both RoboCupJunior Rescue Simulation and RoboCup Asia-Pacific (RCAP) CoSpace Challenge. 

The RCAP CoSpace Autonomous Driving Challenge (Former CoSpace Grand Prix) is a new educational initiative to interest, excite and engage participants regarding STEM and Computational Thinking through tinkering, making, and coding in both virtual and real environments (CoSpace).

The CoSpace Robot programs have changed the way Robotics, Computational Thinking, and STEM are taught to students around the world. In the CoSpace Autonomous Driving, students learn how to make a robot, code a robot, and finally take part in the Robot Race in the real-virtual co-existing space. The robot race begins in the real world. It will notify its virtual team robot after it reaches the teleportation terminal. The virtual robot will continue the race in the virtual world to complete the course. Teams are required to develop appropriate strategies for both real and virtual autonomous robots with guidance from RoboCup officials and robotics professionals.
