An LLM-Based Automatic Sportscast Solution for Robot Soccer Matches

RoboCup has always been a scenario to develop systems that solve real-world problems. Driven by the main goal of playing against the 2050 FIFA World Cup champions, the RoboCup Soccer leagues need to constantly measure how the research community is progressing. Computing visual statistics from match videos is a crucial way to track this evolution. To address this challenge, this paper introduces a fully autonomous, real-time sports commentator for RoboCup matches. By bridging the gap between raw kinematic tracking and natural language generation, our neuro-symbolic architecture extracts precise statistics from video streams and turns them into fluent, hallucination-free narration. The proposed system is capable of generating statistics and commentary both during live match streaming and in post-game analysis, easily adapting to the new dynamism of the league where different humanoid robots of different sizes share the field.

Microwave Remote Sensing of Soil Moisture, Above Ground Biomass and Freeze-Thaw Dynamic: Modeling and Empirical Approaches

Human actions have accelerated changes in global temperature, precipitation patterns, and other critical Earth systems. Key markers of these changes can be linked to the dynamic of Essential Climate Variables (ECVs) and related quantities, such as Soil Moisture (SM), Above Ground Biomass (AGB), and Freeze-Thaw (FT) Dynamics. These variables are crucial for understanding global climate changes, hydrological and carbon cycles included. Monitoring these variables helps to validate climate models and inform policy decisions. Technologies like microwave remote sensing provide critical tools for monitoring the effects of human activities on these variables at a global scale. Other than proper tachenological developments, the study of ECVs requires suitable theoretical retrieval tools, which leads to the solutions of inverse problems. In this brief survey, we analyze and summarize the main retrieval techniques available in the literature for SM, AGB, and FT, performed on data collected with microwave remote sensing sensors. Such methods will be some of the fundamental algorithms that can find applications in the research activities of the interdisciplinary, curiosity-driven, project {\it REmote sensing daTa INversion with multivariate functional modeling for essential climAte variables characterization (RETINA)}, recently funded by the European Union under the Italian National Recovery and Resilience Plan of NextGenerationEU, under the Italian Ministry of University and Research. The main goal of RETINA, in which three research units from three different italian universities are involved, is to create innovative techniques for analyzing data generated by the interaction of electromagnetic waves with the Earth's surface, applying theoretical insights to address real-world challenges.

Shape and Style GAN-based Multispectral Data Augmentation for Crop/Weed Segmentation in Precision Farming

The use of deep learning methods for precision farming is gaining increasing interest. However, collecting training data in this application field is particularly challenging and costly due to the need of acquiring information during the different growing stages of the cultivation of interest. In this paper, we present a method for data augmentation that uses two GANs to create artificial images to augment the training data. To obtain a higher image quality, instead of re-creating the entire scene, we take original images and replace only the patches containing objects of interest with artificial ones containing new objects with different shapes and styles. In doing this, we take into account both the foreground (i.e., crop samples) and the background (i.e., the soil) of the patches. Quantitative experiments, conducted on publicly available datasets, demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed approach. The source code and data discussed in this work are available as open source.

LLCoach: Generating Robot Soccer Plans using Multi-Role Large Language Models

The deployment of robots into human scenarios necessitates advanced planning strategies, particularly when we ask robots to operate in dynamic, unstructured environments. RoboCup offers the chance to deploy robots in one of those scenarios, a human-shaped game represented by a soccer match. In such scenarios, robots must operate using predefined behaviors that can fail in unpredictable conditions. This paper introduces a novel application of Large Language Models (LLMs) to address the challenge of generating actionable plans in such settings, specifically within the context of the RoboCup Standard Platform League (SPL) competitions where robots are required to autonomously execute soccer strategies that emerge from the interactions of individual agents. In particular, we propose a multi-role approach leveraging the capabilities of LLMs to generate and refine plans for a robotic soccer team. The potential of the proposed method is demonstrated through an experimental evaluation,carried out simulating multiple matches where robots with AI-generated plans play against robots running human-built code.

Play Everywhere: A Temporal Logic based Game Environment Independent Approach for Playing Soccer with Robots

Robots playing soccer often rely on hard-coded behaviors that struggle to generalize when the game environment change. In this paper, we propose a temporal logic based approach that allows robots' behaviors and goals to adapt to the semantics of the environment. In particular, we present a hierarchical representation of soccer in which the robot selects the level of operation based on the perceived semantic characteristics of the environment, thus modifying dynamically the set of rules and goals to apply. The proposed approach enables the robot to operate in unstructured environments, just as it happens when humans go from soccer played on an official field to soccer played on a street. Three different use cases set in different scenarios are presented to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed approach.

LLM Based Multi-Agent Generation of Semi-structured Documents from Semantic Templates in the Public Administration Domain

In the last years' digitalization process, the creation and management of documents in various domains, particularly in Public Administration (PA), have become increasingly complex and diverse. This complexity arises from the need to handle a wide range of document types, often characterized by semi-structured forms. Semi-structured documents present a fixed set of data without a fixed format. As a consequence, a template-based solution cannot be used, as understanding a document requires the extraction of the data structure. The recent introduction of Large Language Models (LLMs) has enabled the creation of customized text output satisfying user requests. In this work, we propose a novel approach that combines the LLMs with prompt engineering and multi-agent systems for generating new documents compliant with a desired structure. The main contribution of this work concerns replacing the commonly used manual prompting with a task description generated by semantic retrieval from an LLM. The potential of this approach is demonstrated through a series of experiments and case studies, showcasing its effectiveness in real-world PA scenarios.
