The road to RoboCup 2050

Abstract-The RoboCup community has one definite goal: winning against the human world soccer champion team by the year 2050 [1]. This implies real tackles and fouls between humans and robots and rises safety concerns for the robots and even more important for the human players. Nowadays, similar questions are discussed in the field of physical humanrobot interaction (pHRI), but mainly in the context of industrial and service robotics applications.Our paper is an attempt for a pHRI view on human-robot soccer. Technically, this will be years ahead, but still we believe it is enlighting to analyze the RoboCup vision from the perspective of pHRI. We take scenes from the 2006 FIFA World Cup as examples and discuss what could have happened if one of the teams consisted of robots instead of humans.

ResumenEn las últimas décadas el fútbol de robots ha adquirido importancia entre investigadores relacionados en el campo de la robótica, ya que ha permitido encontrar un entorno adecuado para la investigación en temas como visión artificial, locomoción, localización y navegación, así como coordinación de robots, entre otros. A raíz de esto, distintos grupos de investigación en diferentes universidades alrededor del mundo han creado sus propios equipos de fútbol de robots, con el fin de participar en distintos torneos con diferentes ligas, compitiendo y permitiendo validar los resultados obtenidos en sus investigaciones en áreas relacionadas. En el presente artículo se realiza una revisión sobre los orígenes del fútbol de robots y sus diferentes ligas, así como una presentación de distintos temas de investigación relacionados en este campo. Palabras claveFIRA, fútbol de robots, Robocopa, robótica, sistemas multiagentes. Investigación AbstractIn previous decades, robot soccer has become important for robotic research, due to provide of an adequate environment for research in areas such as artificial vision, locomotion, localization and navigation, as well as multi-robot systems, and others. Hence, different groups of research in several universities around the world have been working on robot soccer teams, to competing against other robot soccer teams in different leagues of robot soccer and, in this way, to validate the results achieved acquired from their research in related areas. In this paper is presented a review about robot soccer, showing a brief overview about its origin and its leagues, but also a presentation about different topics on research related in this field.

The RoboCup community has one definite goal [38]: winning against the human world soccer champion team by the year 2050. This implies real tackles and fouls between humans and robots, rising safety concerns for the robots and even more important for the human players. Nowadays, similar questions are discussed in the field of physical human-robot interaction (pHRI), but mainly in the context of industrial and service robotics applications.The first part of our paper is an attempt for a pHRI view on human-robot soccer. We take scenes from real soccer matches and discuss what could have happened if one of the teams consisted of robots instead of humans. The most important result is that elastic joints are needed to reduce the impact during collisions. The second and third part consider conversely, how the robot can handle the impact of kicking the ball and how it can reach the velocity of human-level soccer. Again joint elasticity is the key point.Overall, the paper analyzes a vision far ahead. However, all our conclusions are based on concrete simulations, experiments, derivations, or findings from sports science, forensics, and pHRI.
