FC Portugal is the result of a cooperation project between the Universities of Aveiro and Porto in Portugal. The project started in February 2000 and only three months later, in Amsterdam, FC Portugal became the first European Champion of RoboCup scoring a total of 86 goals without conceding a single goal. Three months later, in Melbourne, FC Portugal became RoboCup Simulation League World Champion scoring 94 goals, again without conceding any goal. This paper briefly describes some of the most relevant research developments and innovations that lead to FC Portugal team success.
SPL Portuguese Team: Team Description Paper for RoboCup 2011
tzi.de
Portuguese Team intends to participate in the Standard Platform League at the RoboCup 2011 for the first time with a team composed by members of the three Portuguese teams that achieved best results in RoboCup European and World championships: FC Portugal (Simulation 2D, Simulation 3D, Coach Competition, Rescue Simulation, Rescue Infrastructure and Physical Visualization/Mixed Reality), CAM-BADA (Middle Size League and RoboCup@HOME) and 5DPO (Small-Size and Middle-Size leagues). Researchers from two different universities (University of Porto and University of Aveiro) in Portugal join efforts to build a new research oriented and competitive SPL team. Concerning scientific results achieved by the three teams, its members have a combined publishing rate of more than 100 papers regarding Robotic Soccer and related issues in international journals and conferences. The members have had an increasing publishing rate during the last years. For example, in the last two RoboCup Symposiums (2009 and 2010) the team members published a total of 7 papers. Based on previous experience, Portuguese Team developed an agent similar to the one developed for FCPortugal 3D and uses a similar distributed architecture as the one used in the CAMBADA robots. This distributed architecture is based on several processes, namely Communications, Vision and Agent, centered in a Real-time database. The agent is based on several modules, each one with a specific purpose: WorldState, AgentModel, Geometry, Optimization, Skills, Utils, Strategy and DeviceManager. This paper describes the Portuguese Team for the purpose of the qualification for RoboCup'2011.
FC Portugal: RoboCup 2022 3D Simulation League and Technical Challenge Champions
Springer eBooks, 2023
FC Portugal, a team from the universities of Porto and Aveiro, won the main competition of the 2022 RoboCup 3D Simulation League, with 17 wins, 1 tie and no losses. During the course of the competition, the team scored 84 goals while conceding only 2. FC Portugal also won the 2022 RoboCup 3D Simulation League Technical Challenge, accumulating the maximum amount of points by ending first in its both events: the Free/Scientific Challenge, and the Fat Proxy Challenge. The team presented in this year's competition was rebuilt from the ground up since the last RoboCup. No previous code was used or adapted, with the exception of the 6D pose estimation algorithm, and the get-up behaviors, which were re-optimized. This paper describes the team's new architecture and development approach. Key strategy elements include team coordination, role management, formation, communication, skill management and path planning. New lower-level skills were based on a deterministic analytic model and a shallow neural network that learned residual dynamics through reinforcement learning. This process, together with an overlapped learning approach, improved seamless transitions, learning time, and the behavior in terms of efficiency and stability. In comparison with the previous team, the omnidirectional walk is more stable and went from 0.70 m/s to 0.90 m/s, the long kick from 15 m to 19 m, and the new close-control dribble reaches up to 1.41 m/s.
FC Portugal: New Coordination Methodologies In RoboCup Legged League
Univ. of Porto, …, 2005
FC Portugal legged league team is the successor of FC Portus team that achieved 5 th place in RoboCup 2003 and 9 th place in RoboCup 2004. FC Portugal team is being developed by a research group with a long and successful experience in RoboCup (simulation, small-size and middle-size leagues) and results from the combined efforts of several research laboratories, universities and schools. It also uses several research methodologies and code from our teams in other leagues (FC Portugal-simulation and coach leagues and 5DPO-small and middle size leagues). Our 2005 team includes several research innovations (like the effective use of Situation Based Strategic Positioning, Dynamic Role Exchange, Tactical Flexibility and Automatic Color Calibration). Although we are still in the process of adapting our 2004 code to the new ERS7 robots, we already have the new robots playing on the field and we are confident that our new team will be a lot more robust and flexible in its coordination methodologies and soccer playing strategies.
Progress in robocup soccer research in 2000
Experimental Robotics VII, 2001
In addition to researchers in AI and robotics, RoboCup attracts ordinary people, especially kids, high school and university students. Over 3000 people from 35 nations around the world have participated in RoboCup since the great success of the First Robot World Cup Soccer Games and Conferences, RoboCup-97 [1] held in conjunction with the Fifteenth International Joint Conference on Artificial Intelligence (IJCAI-97). Every year, the number of participating teams is increasing about 50%, that is, 35 teams in RoboCup-97, 64 teams in ...

FC Portugal 2D Simulation: Team Description Paper
2007
FC Portugal project intends to continue the research performed during the development of previous FC Portugal RoboCup simulation league teams. These teams had very good results in previous RoboCup simulation competitions. FC Portugal won the simulation league 2D in RoboCup2000 (Melbourne) and won two European championships (Amsterdam2000 and Paderborn2001). FC Portugal team also won the 2002 Coach Simulation in Fukuoka and achieved two second place awards in this competition (Padova2003 and Lisbon2004). The simulation rescue team was European champion in 2006. The simulation 3D team was world champion of RoboCup2006 (Bremen) and European champion in 2006 and 2007. This paper describes some of the innovations of our Simulation 2D team for the next RoboCup simulation league competitions, relating them with previous work developed by our simulated RoboCup teams. It contains mainly a general description of the work developed and references to some of the scientific papers that contain a...

Soccer Simulation League – a proposal for the RoboCupJunior competition
WEROB - Workshop on Educational Robotics of the RoboCup Symposium, 2015
RoboCupJunior is a robotics competition that focuses on education of primary and secondary school aged children. In all of its categories (soccer, dance and rescue) students have to deal with robot design, construction and programming. Besides the existence of rescue and soccer simulation categories in the RoboCup major competition, there are no equivalent categories in RoboCupJunior. To fill this gap, and facilitate the transition from Ro-boCupJunior participants to major categories, we present a proposal for a new league for the RoboCupJunior competition: the Junior Soccer Simulation League. In this category, students have to program virtual robots in a similar way they would program their real ones. But, because there is no hardware involved, participants can concentrate more on the development of their software and on the improvement of their robots' intelligence, which is one of RoboCup goals. In this paper we present the simulator that was developed and discuss some ideas for the Junior Soccer Simulation competition.
