17.1 RoboCup 2023

WITS FC competed in person at RoboCup 2023 in Bordeaux, France, showcasing their improved kicking skills developed through reinforcement learning. Despite progress, the team recognized areas for growth and learned from other teams’ reward function designs for expert-level techniques. This was our second year competing in person, however, many of the other teams were unable to make it due to financial issues. Therefore the tournament was played out in a league format across multiple days.

The Wits FC team in attendance consisted of:

Branden Ingram
Michael Beukman 
Marcell Nagy
