| Robotstadium
competition restarting now! |
Webots demos at
IROS'2008 |
 |
As announced
previously, the Robotstadium
competition recently restarted. 16 teams are participating
in this competition, from which 15 are inherited from the previous
edition. If you are interested in programming Nao humanoid robots to
play soccer, you are very welcome to join. You will be able to compare
the performance of your robot team to the best teams and maybe play a
match against the famous CMRobotics (Carnegie Mellon University, USA),
winner of the finals in RoboCup'08.
The robots can be programmed in URBI,
Java or C/C++.

Cyberbotics will have a booth at
IROS 2008 in
Nice next week from September 23rd to September 25th,
2008. If you happen to be there, you are very welcome to step by. You
will be able to see some nice and recent demos of Webots showing
off our latest developments. We will also demonstrate the e-puck robots and how
they can be used together with Webots, in simulation, remote control or
cross-compilation modes. |

Rat's Life
competition reborn at Skövde University!

URBI training
sessions in Paris
|

Quoting Tony Morse: "Following the
success of the original webots ratslife competition (now
over), I've built a new site and re-launched the competition long
term. This site provides an online robot programming benchmark ideal
for students and researchers alike. I use this site as teaching and
coursework material for my students and hope that others will do the
same. For more information please see www.theprovinggrounds.net
and for information regarding using this as coursework for students
then please contact me."

Paris based Gostai is running a 2 day advanced technical training
session for URBI. The Universal Real-time Behavior Interface (URBI)
is a powerful parallel script engine coupled with a component
architecture. The training session will make an extensive use of Webots
running URBI for
Webots. URBI, which has been employed in the development of several
robots and robotic products, is used to control hardware and software
components in a flexible and portable way. The next sessions are to run
September 29-30 and November 17-18, 2008 in Paris, France.
