The regulations provided in this page constitute official
regulations of RoboCup games, administered by The RoboCup
Federation. The initial regulations were drafted in 1994. Several
revisions were made from technical and logistical point of view. The
basis of the current regulation was drafted in the 1996 version of
the RoboCup regulations, and modified each year for RoboCup World
Championship games. Currently rule revision for RoboCup-2002 is
under discussion.
The most up-to-date rules is available for your reference (see
the links below).
RoboCup Policy of Rule changes
RoboCup's rule changes in order to promote science and technology.
It will be reviewed annually by the committee, and discussed with
participants and other knowledgeable researchers in the field to
draft out new rules. One example of major change in rule, which may
happened in future, is the removal of all walls around the field. We
are planning to make technology assessment when we can achieve the
level of technology to do this, and set up target year for such a
rule change. These measures will be taken with the careful
evaluation of the technology level achieved. However, in principle,
RoboCup's rule will be continuously modified to make it closer to
real world, rather than to impose artificial set up to improve
superficial performance. If you are planning to participate in
RoboCup in future and designing robot now, please keep this in your
mind.
