Abstract

We propose a new RoboCup league called "SSL-Humanoid". In the SSL-Humanoid league, the global vision system used in the RoboCup soccer Small Size Robot League (SSL) is also employed, and two teams of up to five humanoid robots play on a field whose size is half of the SSL field. This league aims to advance AI research for humanoid robots such as cooperation among robots, tactics and strategies. This contribution is possible due to the substitution of local to a global vision system. This is expected to attract new participants who have been interested in RoboCup but did not attend so far. We propose to organize this league as a sub-league of the original SSL. In this paper, we describe background of the proposal, research topics, road map toward 2014 and a summary of games played in 2009. Finally, we introduce team ODENS' system as an example of an SSL-Humanoid team.
