“…And attracting new researchers requires an easy entry path for new teams that is suitable for undergraduate students and universities with limited budgets. Gerndt et al (137) proposed an entry-level league with a reduced set of requirements that can bridge the gap between the junior level and the advanced robots and teams in the Humanoid League. They called it the "Humanoid Rookie (Sub-) League (HRL)" and suggested that it would give new researchers and teams the time to gather the experience and funds needed to successfully participate in and contribute to the Humanoid League's progress toward the 2050 goal.…”

Since its inception in 1997, RoboCup has developed into a truly unique and long-standing research community advancing robotics and artificial intelligence through various challenges, benchmarks, and test fields. The main purposes of this article are to evaluate the research and development achievements so far and to identify new challenges and related new research issues. Unlike other robot competitions and research conferences, RoboCup eliminates the boundaries between pure research activities and the development of full system designs with hardware and software implementations at a site open to the public. It also creates specific scientific and technological research and development challenges to be addressed. In this article, we provide an overview of RoboCup, including its league structure and related research issues. We also review recent studies across several research categories to show how participants (called RoboCuppers) address the research and development challenges before, during, and after the annual competitions. Among the diversity of research issues, we highlight two unique aspects of the challenges: the platform design of the robots and the game evaluations. Both of these aspects contribute to solving the research and development challenges of RoboCup and verifying the results from a common perspective (i.e., a more objective view). Finally, we provide concluding remarks and discuss future research directions.
