Abstract

The RoboCup Middle Size League (MSL) aims to promote robotics research through robots playing autonomous soccer. In this league, robots play 5 vs 5 on a field of 22 by 14 m. The research in the MSL focuses on distributed multi-agent systems that exclusively have on-board sensors. At RoboCup 2023 in Bordeaux, France, Tech United Eindhoven of the Eindhoven University of Technology won the MSL competition. This paper reflects on the tournament and the developments that led to the victory of Tech United. Specifically, we discuss three developments. Firstly, the concept of a `sweeper keeper', where the goalkeeper more actively participates in the match, is applied to robotic soccer. Secondly, the developments of Tech United towards a human dribble, where the robots release the ball from the ball handling mechanism during dribbling to gain a higher speed and more freedom of movement, are discussed. Finally, the evolution of using the Skills, Tactics and Plays (STP) framework in MSL is presented.
