RoboFEI
Dear SSL community,
Since the end of 2020, we have been releasing a good number of repositories as open source software. We are doing it for two main reasons.
Firstly, we believe on the give-a-penny-take-a-pennyconcept. Based on this principle, since we are daily using lots of open source software developed by the Small Size League Community, we should also share our software in a sign of gratitude, in a way of contributing to the community have always supported us.
Secondly, we believe that sharing software is important for educational purposes, we have learned a lot from open source software (like how to rewrite and reuse a piece of software) and we hope that, releasing our software to the public, we can help others in that way too. Sharing software is equivalent to sharing knowledge, which is beneficial for everyone.
Below you will find our publications on the last year:
Software (SSL-Strategy)
Link: <https://gitlab.com/robofei/ssl/SSL-Strategy>
Languages:C++ (almost 99% of the source code); Python; QMake
This is the software that we use during RoboCup matches. Its main purpose is to control one team during a Small Size League game. The GUI is highly customizable (with options like selecting number of defenders and offenders, the maximum speed of the robots, the maximum strength of a kick and so on). It has a nice graphical client for visualizing the field and some options, like the interaction with the simulator.
The source code and the interface are all in Brazilian Portuguese idiom, so it might be difficult to use it for non-Portuguese speakers. Nevertheless, we are planning to add an English translation to the software; that way, the GUI could be used in both, English and Portuguese languages.
Software (LogAnalyserRoboFEI-SSL)
Link: <https://gitlab.com/robofei/ssl/LogAnalyserRoboFei-SSL>
Languages:C++; QMake
This software is based on the Robocup Small Size League C++ Log Tools (https://github.com/RoboCup-SSL/ssl-logtools) and on the RoboFEI Small Size League Main Software (https://gitlab.com/robofei/ssl/SSL-Strategy).
It provides a simple log player combined with a graphical client can that read vision and referee messages (from the network or directly from the log player). Furthermore it provides more options for loading and playing a match log file; for example, it is possible to ignore the match states when the game is stopped or halted and consider the other states. The Kalman filter from our main software is also embedded with the application.
Other additional functionalities like, download the Match League Log Files directly from the software and the use of predefined shortcuts provides an easy environment for the user watch Small Size League matches recorded or in real time.
At last, the Enable Analysis option activates a feature that can check when a shoot move or pass move occurs and evaluates this move in a 0 to 250 scale. At the end, a file is generated with the results. We are working on an implementation that provides a game statistics viewer tool that shows statistics of the game (like the ball possession, the amount of passes and pass precision, shoots to goal and so on), but it is still in development.
Software (JoystickRobotController):
Link: <https://gitlab.com/robofei/ssl/joystickrobotcontroller>
Languages:C++; QMake
The objective of this software is to easily test the RoboFEI robots – verifying if the robots wheels, kick sensor, dribbler, and other components are working properly. It makes it possible to control the robot, either with a joystick controller or with a computer keyboard.
Sincerely,
The RoboFEI team.

Dear SSL-community,
as in the past years we are very happy to announce our entry for the
Open Source Award. We are doing a complete and full release of
everything we have, including electronics, mechanics, and our full AI.
Below, you will find a list of our publications. The documentation or
description is included within the individual packages.
Mechanics:
A completely redesigned robot (v2020), already online for over a year
now as announced on Discord.
https://github.com/TIGERs-Mannheim/mechanics
Electronics:
New electronics with a faster charging kicker, more robustness and our
new pattern identification system (detects the pattern on the robots
cover).
https://github.com/TIGERs-Mannheim/electronics
Firmware:
New onboard control algorithm with friction modelling and compensation
for our new wheel arrangement of v2020 robots. A lot of smaller bugfixes
as well. Also includes our wireless protocol and base station firmware.
https://github.com/TIGERs-Mannheim/Firmware
Software (AI):
The heart and brain of our team, the central control software Sumatra.
Available as download:
https://tigers-mannheim.de/download/release2021/Software-2021.tar.gz
And on Github: https://github.com/TIGERs-Mannheim/Sumatra
Of course, compatible with the simulation protocol. So you can test your
AI against ours locally.
In case you are missing any information or if you are just curios,
contact us on Discord or write us an email.

Dear SSL community,
as in past years, we are happy to submit our entry for the Open Source
Award.
You will find a list of our publications below.
Framework + Simulator:
This is the main software we use to develop and test our AI. It is able to
– simulate this year’s SSL games
– control robots
– create game recordings and play them back
…and much more.
The repository also contains our simulator, bundled as a standalone
executable for usage in this years RoboCup.
https://github.com/robotics-erlangen/framework
Autoref
This is our automatic referee, that detects the various rule
infringements teams can commit during a SSL game.
https://github.com/robotics-erlangen/autoref
In case you have questions about our software or are just curious, feel
welcome to write an email to info@robotics-erlangen.de
Best regards
ER-Force
