Introduction
The original SimuroSot includes Middle Size and Large Size categories. Their main objective is to allow researchers to develop control algorithms and team strategies without the need for complex and costly hardware setup. Teams are encouraged to use the simulation platform for the evaluation of their algorithms and eventually to participate in the Middle League MiroSOT which is exposed to real-world conditions.
As time passed, the FIRA robot soccer has grown from MiroSot to many new categories, such as HuroCup、 RoboSot and AndroSot. And nowadays, the main flag game has changed from car-like MiroSot to human-like HuroCup. And this year, A totally new FIRA Air was also proposed.
So to follow this change and also broaden the game range, the SimuroSot committee would like to add some new categories. In order to promote the game, a 10-year milestone for SimuroSot is proposed as follows:
-
2017~2020: Based on ROS and Gazebo, a simulation of the TurtleBot would be used to develop some new category, and the rules would be similar to RoboSot. At the beginning, the RoboSot Game & a Challenge would be applied. And to make the simulation more real profit, a competition for transferring the algorithm to real-world robot would also be conducted. And hopefully, a standard robot such as TurtleBot or some other similar will be applied to do it in real.
-
2021~2026: Based on ROS and Gazebo, a simulation of the Thormang or Atlas would be used to develop some new category, and the rules would be similar to HuroSot. And to make the simulation more real, a transfer of the algorithm to real-world Robot would also be conducted.
Rules
SimuroSot Miro
The SimuroSot Miro is the original SimuroSot. Its goal is to make a simulation of MiroSot and let teams without the real equipment test their strategies.
- SimuroSot Miro-Middle
The SimuroSot Miro-Middle is the original SimuroSot Middle Size Field competition. It simulates the MiroSot Middle Size game. It has been played for more than 10 years.
- SimuroSot Miro-Large
The SimuroSot Miro-Large is the original SimuroSot Large Size Field competition. It simulates the MiroSot Large Size game. It has been played for more than 10 years.
SimuroSot Robo
The SimuroSot Robo is a newly created category. The goal is to simulate FIRA’s RoboSot category. Like RoboSot, the SimuroSot Robo also has game & challenge.
- SimuroSot Robo game
The SimuroSot Robo game is a newly created competition. The goal is to simulate FIRA’s RoboSot category. The Robot is a simulation of Robot used in Robosot.
- SimuroSot Robo challenge
The SimuroSot Robo challenge is a newly created competition. The goal of the game is to simulate FIRA’s RoboSot challenge, but the robot is Turtlebot. The challenge include Localization, Avoidance and Passing.
SimuroSot HuroCup
The SimuroSot HuroCup is a newly created competition. The goal of the game is to simulate FIRA’s HuroCup category.
SimuroSot Air
The SimuroSot Air is a newly created competition. The goal of the game is to simulate FIRA’s Air category.
