RoboCup-2000, the Fourth Robot World Cup Soccer
Games and Conferences, was held from August 27th to
September 3rd, 2000, at the Melbourne Exhibition
Center in Melbourne, Australia. Like the previous
international RoboCup events---RoboCup-97 in Nagoya,
Japan; RoboCup-98 in Paris, France; and RoboCup-99
in Stockholm, Sweden---RoboCup-2000 included a
technical workshop as well as several robotic soccer
competitions. RoboCup-2000 introduced the first
RoboCup Jr. competition for children, as well as
demonstrations of humanoid robots and of the
RoboCup-Rescue disaster rescue simulator.
This book documents RoboCup-2000. It consists of
(i) an overview; (ii) championship papers by the
winners of the competitions; (iii) the finalist
papers for the RoboCup challenge awards; (iv) the
papers and posters presented at the workshop; and
(v) descriptions of the teams that competed.
The book begins with an overview article introducing
the competitions and demonstrations and including
the scores of all of the games in the four
competition leagues: the simulation league, the
small-size robot (F180) league, the middle-size
robot (F2000) league, and the Sony legged robot
league. The following section presents the
championship papers from the winners of these
leagues.
The RoboCup challenge awards are distinctions that
are given annually to the RoboCup-related research
that shows the most potential to advance their
respective fields. In RoboCup-2000, the challenge
award finalists were selected from among the
workshop papers. The four selected finalist papers
appear in the next section.
The annual RoboCup workshop provides a forum for
RoboCup researchers to exchange ideas that are
generally applicable across the different RoboCup
leagues and/or that are of general scientific
interest. The RoboCup-2000 workshop received more
than 60 submissions, from which 20 were selected for
full presentation and an additional 20 were selected
for poster presentation. These research papers form
the main body of this book.
The book concludes with descriptions of most of the
more than 80 teams that competed in RoboCup-2000.
These team descriptions serve to catalog the full
range of researchers and approaches that have been
applied to the challenges put forth by RoboCup.
The next international RoboCup events will be held
in Seattle, USA (2001) and in Fukuoka, Japan (2002).
In addition to all existing RoboCup events, they are
scheduled to introduce (i) RoboCup-Rescue disaster
rescue competitions for the transfer of ideas and
techniques developed in the soccer domain to a
related task, and (ii) a humanoid robot competition
as a step towards the long-term goal of creating a
full team of humanoid robots that compete on a real
soccer field. We look forward to continuing
research innovations and exciting demonstrations of
robotics and AI technology in these and other future
RoboCup events.
