Jan 1, 20262026-01 Monthly Summary — RoboCupAtHome/RuleBook Overview: Focused on improving reliability, clarity, and operational readiness of the RuleBook while updating datasets and run procedures to reflect current competition rules. Delivered documentation enhancements, modernized start and finals processes, and addressed key bugs to reduce runtime issues and ensure consistent scoring. The work reinforces business value by improving competitor guidance, reducing manual intervention, and ensuring alignment with updated competition rules. Key outcomes and business value: - Improved rules clarity and maintainability, reducing interpretation errors during events and onboarding. - Enhanced run-time operability with a manual start signal, reducing dependency on automated processes and enabling smoother competition flow. - Strengthened competition integrity and fairness via updated finals qualification policy and standardized penalties framework. - Global readiness with worldwide objects dataset updates, minimizing ambiguity for international participants. - Reduced technical debt and increased stability through targeted bug fixes in the rulebook build, undefined references, and GPSR penalty calculations. Notes on scope and collaboration: - Co-authored guideline updates in several sections (e.g., general_rules/Scenario and general_rules/Organization) to improve accuracy and consistency across documentation. - Multiple commits across Documentation, Dataset updates, and Run-flow enhancements demonstrate a pattern of incremental, review-friendly improvements.

Nov 1, 2025November 2025 (RoboCupAtHome/RuleBook): Delivered substantial documentation hygiene and feature updates. Implemented comprehensive RuleBook and Scoresheet cleanup to resolve merge conflicts, remove obsolete tests and tasks, and archive outdated components, resulting in a leaner, more maintainable knowledge base. Introduced bag-handling enhancements for the Human Robot Interaction Challenge, enabling the robot to assist guests with bags, follow the host to the drop-off location, and updated penalties and scoring to reflect these flows. These changes reduce deployment risk, improve scoring accuracy, and enhance guest experience. Collaboration with Leroy Rügemer on doc updates and cross-repo edits.
