Categories and Rules
The IEEE competition will have 3
categories:
IEEE-1. Beginners 'Lego' Competition
This category is aimed at engineering and computer science students beginning to work in robotics and is based on the use of Lego MindStorms building blocks.
The task involves two robots with different abilities placed in an arena (the robotic manipulation pharmacy) that must produce a drug according to a prescription, without any human interaction. Robots will read the prescription after the beginning of the challenge.
IEEE-2. Advanced Competition
This competition is for more experienced student groups. They will have to build robots that can pick up separated recycable garbage from city houses and put it in specific places in a recycling industry according to the garbage classification, which is given based on the garbage colors.
IEEE-3. Robot Soccer 1
Two teams consisting of three robots, one of which may be the goalkeeper, play a robot soccer match. Only three human team members, a "manager", a "coach" and a "trainer" shall be allowed on the stage. A network with any number of computers to control the team may be used. This category focuses on the problem of intelligent multi-agent cooperation and control in a highly dynamic environment with a hybrid centralized/distributed system.

RoboCup Competitions
R-1. Small Size (Robot Soccer 2 or F-180)
Two teams consisting of five robots, one of which may be the goalkeeper, play a robot soccer match. The robot soccer 2 category allows larger robots immersed in a larger field of play, in contrast with the Robot Soccer 1 Category. The F-180 category also focuses on the problem of intelligent multi-agent cooperation and control in a highly dynamic environment.
R-2. Simulation
The RoboCup Soccer Simulator is a research and educational tool for multi-agent systems and artificial intelligence. It enables for two teams of 11 simulated autonomous robotic players to play soccer.
R-3. Legged
In the 4-Legged league teams consisting of four Sony Aibo robots each play on a field of 6 m x 4 m. The robots operate fully autonomously, i.e. there is no external control, neither by humans nor by computers.
