ssl-core

This repository contains the next yet-to-be-developed software for the RoboCup Small Size Soccer.

It consists in a long-term project that applies the concept of microservices to robotics, taking the utmost care to meet the latency and resource management requirements that exist in the category while having a portable, modular, and scalabe software.

Important

In this repository, there is the implementation of VAR (Video Assistant Referee), presented at RoboCup 2024 in Eindhoven. The idea is to make this set of microservices usable in official matches of the competition, with a 3D visualization, the ability to replay, and to index events produced by the game-controller.

To test during matches, please run: docker compose -f docker-compose.robocup-2024-var.yaml up

About

The ssl-core project is organized as a language-agnostic monorepo package-by-feature microservices. Top-level directories contains its own README.md and are individually responsible for describing its purpose.

System Requirements

All the code developed was done in Visual Studio Code with development tied to a devcontainer, making it platform-independent.
