Regulations & Rules



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 is under discussion.
The most up-to-date rules

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.
