RobôCIn Small Size League Extended Team Description Paper for RoboCup 2023
This work addresses incremental improvements for robotic soccer teams in the RoboCup Small Size League, focusing on software and hardware updates.
The team tackled defending their RoboCup Small Size League title by improving their robotic system through software and AI refactoring, mechanical integration, and vision blackout challenges, resulting in past successes including a world title in 2022 and three Latin-American championships.
RobôCIn has participated in RoboCup Small Size League since 2019, won its first world title in 2022 (Division B), and is currently a three-times Latin-American champion. This paper presents our improvements to defend the Small Size League (SSL) division B title in RoboCup 2023 in Bordeaux, France. This paper aims to share some of the academic research that our team developed over the past year. Our team has successfully published 2 articles related to SSL at two high-impact conferences: the 25th RoboCup International Symposium and the 19th IEEE Latin American Robotics Symposium (LARS 2022). Over the last year, we have been continuously migrating from our past codebase to Unification. We will describe the new architecture implemented and some points of software and AI refactoring. In addition, we discuss the process of integrating machined components into the mechanical system, our development for participating in the vision blackout challenge last year and what we are preparing for this year.
