RoboCup 3d Simulation League: Interview with Marco Simões

From 24-27 June, the 3d Soccer Simulation League will be taking place, as part of RoboCup 2021. The league first started in 2004 and teams compete in simulated soccer matches, with an emphasis on the low-level control of humanoid robots. Executive committee member Marco Simões told us about the league, how the competition will work, and how they strive to advance research every year. The 3d Soccer Simulation League is part of the RoboCup Soccer Simulation League, which is a larger league that includes two sub-leagues: the 2d Simulation League and the 3d Simulation League. The 2d Simulation League is about high-level research, AI and the strategies of soccer.
