welcome to RoboCup 2017 Nagoya! Welcome Message 3 Welcome Message President of RoboCup Federation / Chairman, RoboCup 2017 / Governor, As many one know, Nagoya is the place that RoboCup was 6 Introduction to RoboCup 2017 born. In 1997, the rst RoboCup was held here as a small side Overview of RoboCup 2017 event of IJCAI-97. In that time, the performance of our robots 8 Leagues of RoboCup were low-level. And, we come back to the birthplace after 20 RoboCupSoccer / RoboCupRescue / RoboCup@Home / RoboCupIndustrial / RoboCupJunior years' travel around the world. I anticipate that people will be surprised by improvements of this 20 years of robotics and 10 Competition League Finals Semi nals / Finals arti cial intelligence.

2 3 Dear Participants, Dear Participants, Welcome Message Welcome Message On behalf of the Organizing Committee, I cordially welcome I oer my heartfelt welcome to all of the participants and you to RoboCup 2017 Nagoya Japan. RoboCup’s history began ocials who have come to Aichi for RoboCup 2017. in Nagoya in 1997 when it hosted the rst RoboCup games. Since the rst world championship was held in Since then, RoboCup has been held around the world, its scope Aichi-Nagoya in 1997, RoboCup has developed into the largest and variety of games greatly expanding to become one of the autonomous robot competition in the world. This would not largest robot games competitions in the world. Approximately have been possible without the devotion and hard work of the 3,000 students and scientists participate from around 40 participants, ocials, and all others involved. I would like to countries and regions. I am overjoyed that for the rst time in express my sincere respect for their eorts, as well as my 20 years, RoboCup will again be held in Nagoya, its birthplace. deepest gratitude for the competition being held here in Aichi once again after 20 years. Nagoya is a metropolis located roughly in the center of Japan, and is a hub of manufacturing The use of robotics and arti cial intelligence is anticipated in providing solutions in today’s craftsmanship. The roots of Nagoya’s passionate craftsmanship culture date back to the 17th bustling and changing social environment. Aichi is the number one industrial prefecture in Japan, century, when Nagoya Castle was constructed. Artisans gifted in both aesthetic and technical skill being the center of the automobile, aerospace, and robotics industries, with many businesses and gathered and competed in Nagoya’s castle town, crafting elaborate Japanese clocks and universities engaged in their research and development (R&D). In working toward the goal of mechanical dolls. The spirit and technique of the passionate craftsmanship cultivated in those developing Aichi as a worldwide hub in the robotics industry, these businesses and universities times has been passed down into this region’s automobile, aerospace, robot, and other elds, have organized the Aichi Robot Industry Promotion Council, in which industrial, academic, and supporting development of Japan’s industry. Today, Aichi Prefecture—which includes Nagoya— government bodies work together to promote the development and spread of robotics. boasts the number one shipment value of industrial products such as robots in Japan. During the same year as the 2020 Tokyo Olympic and Paralympic Games, the World Robot Through this history, the spirit of passionate craftsmanship has owed through the people of Summit will be held in Aichi. By holding robot competitions and showcasing newer robots, this Nagoya for hundreds of years, who today are highly interested in robots. The people of Nagoya summit will strive to accelerate the implementation and R&D of robot use in our daily lives, in will without a doubt encourage and support you in their competitions. society, and in industry. It would give me great pleasure to have everyone participating in Nagoya is not only a city of passionate craftsmanship, but has produced many famous feudal RoboCup also attend the World Robot Summit and further your R&D in robotics. military commanders, and is a “Sanctuary of the Samurai.” Nagoya has exciting sightseeing spots I look forward to each of the participants pitting their wits and hard work against each other like Nagoya Castle and LEGOLAND®, and delicious local cuisine known as Nagoya Meshi. I implore during the four days of competitions at RoboCup. I hope that the participants from around the you to tour Nagoya and enjoy the city for yourself. world will network with each other as well as with the exhibiting businesses. It is my utmost desire that this competition becomes an invaluable experience for you. I would like to extend my best wishes for RoboCup 2017 to be a most rewarding experience for

everyone involved.
