RoboCup SIGs are being formed by the RoboCup Federation Executive Committee with the following goals:

to create a forum for discussion among researchers with common interests across the different RoboCup leagues and from outside of the current RoboCup community.
to define research milestones so that competition rules and research efforts can be targeted based on the milestones.
to make software and hardware resources available, so that researchers can use such assets for their own research, particularly to start up new RoboCup teams and research programs.
to promote research is specific area by organizing mailing lists, web pages, and workshops.
