Code Usage

Since 2021 we adopted the base image build process published by team Nao Devils.

We don't anticipate to use any code from other teams in 2023.

Own Contribution

We intend to use our novel whistle detection based on CNN at RoboCup 2023. The detection was recreated form ground up and does not use any prior work from the 2018 publication by HTWK Robots. The current state of development that was used at RoboCup 2022 was published at https://github.com/NaoHTWK/WhistleDetection.

Impact

Team HTWK Robots is involved in several activities with the goal of connecting our university with local school graduates. Schoolchildren are invited to visit and get to know our robots. We support the Roberta initiative [1] for improved MINT education. Exhibition matches are held at events like Lange Nacht der Computerspiele [2] and modell-hobby-spiel [3] to wake interest for RoboCup in young visitors.
