De datum van het weekend van de wetenschap is alweer bekend.

Streaming the German Open RoboCup SPL League games live on the big screen of LAB42 UvA

Received yesterday from Stijn Oomes PhD a CD with a nice coverage of my first RoboCup. Uploaded the content to a webpage: staff.fnwi.uva.nl/a.visser/resea….

Never throw something away! In our lab we have a UMI-RTX robot which was bought 40 years ago (the time from Jimmy Saville as Doctor Magic). Currently we are testing the RT-X models created by DeepMind. After some hard work the rubber band was gone, but we still had a spare!

So, for the first time I can participate in the tournament held in the Diamond League of Duolingo.

My robot Pepper had a good view on what happened at the Science Park last night.

Toch nog een mooie avond aan het IJ

Setup day at the RoboCup 2024: the first robots are already on the fields.

You can also find some TechnoArt from the FabCreator at the RoboCup

The RoboCup Soccer teams present themselves not only with flags, but also with mini-posters.

The location of the RoboCup Symposium was prominent in the background during the official opening ceremony by the deputy major of Eindhoven.

On the RoboCup a peek into the future is given on what the next generation of Nao robots (version 7) will over. Very excited about the increase of computing power and ToF sensors.

The audience for the semi-final of the Standard Platform League of RoboCup 2024

The Irish team RoboEireann won the game for the third place.

A German final in the RoboCup: HWTK from Leipzig against B-Human from Bremen.

Final game of the RoboCup 2024: the Midsize champion against humans.

The RoboCup Symposium is held in the Evoluon, which is a paradise for technology.

This is how the poster sessions of the RoboCup Symposium look like. Thanks to the weather nicely outside.

Congratulations to Diana Kleingarn and Dominik Brämer with their Best Paper award at the RoboCup 2024 Symposium.

Thanks to the experienced engineers from Aldebaran, part of United Robotics Group at the RoboCup, we could repair the LaserHead of our first Nao (from 2010!). It could accurately detect the wall 1m ahead of him.
