RoboCup 2026 – Open Source Submissions

The following Open Source Submissions were made by the teams via email

luhbots – luhsoccer_simulation

Dear SSL Community, 

we, the luhbots soccer team, are happy to announce our submission for the Open Source Award 2026. This year we would like to present a new simulation framework for the SSL. 

The aim of this simulator is being able to speed up simulation time, with the long-term goal of eventually using it to train AI models aimed at specific tasks to aid our strategy. 

Some of it’s main features are:

  • A rigid body physics simulation of the robots and the ball.
  • Decoupling of the simulator and the network components, allowing embedding the simulator into other programs and specifying the time step size.  
  • An implementation, compliant with the official SSL-protocols. 
  • Being able to be used as a drop-in replacement for other SSL-simulators.      

The source code and documentation can be found on our GitHub page: https://github.com/luhbots/luhsoccer_simulation

Furthermore our new software is now also available at this address: https://github.com/luhbots/luhsoccer_trioxide Best regards
