Research and Development

At the core of KRSSG's mission is cutting-edge research and development in robotics and artificial intelligence. We are continuously exploring innovative solutions, creating new technologies, and pushing the boundaries of what is possible in these fields.

Small Sized League

A Small Size robot soccer game takes place between two teams of eight (six in division B) robots each. By 2020, 11 vs. 11 robots will play against each other. Each robot have fit in a 180 mm diameter circle and must be no higher than 15 cm. The robots play soccer with an orange golf ball on a green carpeted field that is about 12 m long by 9 m wide. All objects on the field are tracked by a standardized vision system that processes the data provided by multiple cameras that are attached to a camera bar located about 4 m above the playing surface.

Humanoid Simulation League

The RoboCup 3D Simulated Soccer League allows software agents to control humanoid robots to compete against one another in a realistic simulation of the rules and physics of a game of soccer. The platform strives to reproduce the software programming challenges faced when building real physical robots for this purpose. In doing so, it helps research towards the RoboCup Federation's goal of developing a team of fully autonomous humanoid robots that can win against the human world soccer champion team in 2050.

Humanoid Robotics

In the Humanoid League, autonomous robots with a human-like body plan and human-like senses play soccer against each other. Unlike humanoid robots outside the Humanoid League the task of perception and world modeling is not simplified by using non-human like range sensors. In addition to soccer competitions technical challenges take place. Dynamic walking, running, and kicking the ball while maintaining balance, visual perception of the ball, other players, and the field, self-localization, and team play are among the many research issues investigated in the Humanoid League.

Mirosot League

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

FIRA RoboWorldcup

The Federation of International Sports Association (FIRA) – founded by Prof. Jong-Hwan Kim, KAIST, Korea in 1996 – is the oldest robot soccer competition in the world. From humble beginnings, FIRA has grown to a major robotics competition with the goal using sports as benchmark problems for state of the art research in robotics and other related areas.

Robocup Brazil Open

The LARC/CBR is the premier continental scientific competition in the field of autonomous robotics in Latin America. The event is composed of the IEEE Latin American and Brazilian Robots Competition and the Latin American and Brazil RoboCup Open.

Robocup Asia Pacific

RoboCup Asia-Pacific (RCAP) is a super-regional headquarter representing the RoboCup Federation coordinating RoboCup activities in the Asia Pacifics. It also hosts a variety of events on autonomous robotics including Robocup Rescue, Autonomous Delivery and Autonomous Driving Challenges

Robocup ARM Challenge

The RoboCup ARM Challenge aims at involving young researchers and students to address challenging problems related to autonomous robot manipulation, within an educational scientific competition.The challenge is organized by RoboCup, with the technical support of MathWorks, Franka Emika, and P&G and in collaboration with AIPlan4EU UE project.

Code-o-Soccer

Code-O-Soccer is a coding competition conducted by Kharagpur RoboSoccer Students' Group in the month of January, the main aim of the event is to introduce the concept of autonomous soccer playing robots in students mind and motivating students to create a challenging strategy using the provided API on a three vs three robot match for which robots are provided by KRSSG.It was conducted on a national level for the first time in 2015 in collaboration with IEEE. Presently it is conducted annually in collaboration with Kshitij, IIT Kharagpur. Code-O-soccer involves developing and implementing soccer strategies for FIRA Mirosot standard bots to engage in Robosoccer Matches. This event blends the complexities of tactical coordination, decision-based programming, and coding skills in the dynamic environment of Robot Soccer.

Participants take on the role of masterminds, responsible for programming the match strategy of a team comprising four mirosot bots. The goal is to optimize gameplay performance through innovative code edits and structural enhancements.

Workshops and Training

As a leading research group, KRSSG takes pride in its commitment to advancing the field of robotics. Our primary mission is to spread knowledge and inspire the student community to engage in groundbreaking research. With a rich history of collaboration and impactful initiatives, KRSSG continues to play a pivotal role in shaping the future of robotics. In a testament to our dedication, KRSSG has previously collaborated with Intel to organize a workshop on robotics. This collaboration aimed to bring cutting-edge industry insights to the student community, fostering a culture of innovation and research. We host internal paper reading sessions and learning sessions for our members. These sessions provide a platform for our members to delve deeper into the exciting field of robotics

Our influence extends beyond workshop collaborations; KRSSG has been instrumental in conducting workshops at the prestigious IIT Kharagpur, in partnership with IEEE and Intel. These workshops serve to proliferate the culture of robotics in India.
