While detailed regulations are under construction, it is most likely that following categories are created: Small Size Humanoid (H-60): Maximum height is less than 60cm Middle Size Humanoid (H-120): Maximum height is less than 120cm Large Size Humanoid (H-180): Maximum height is less than 180cm Initially, each team consists of up to three robots, but the number will increase to five (5), seven (7), and then to eleven (11) with maturity of the technology. It is assumed that these humanoids are fully autonomous. However, some practical industrial applications require tele-operation of humanoid robots. Due to their high DOF, tele-operation of humanoid is an important technical challenge. Thus, for humanoid league, there will be two control categories: Fully-Autonomous Tele-Presence RoboCup Humanoid Athletic Although humanoid soccer is an exciting challenge, it is more feasible that basic motion capabilities are evaluated. Thus, RoboCup offers challanges for humanoid researchers in following categories: Humanoid 100cm run/walk Humanoid 1000cm run/walk This category evaluate speed that humanoid can run/walk 100cm/1000cm track. A simple evaluation, yet clearly demonstrate the progress of humanoid motion capability. The RoboCup Federation authorizes the official world records.
