B-Human '26 - Scalable Team Play up to 11 vs. 11

Title:B-Human '26 - Scalable Team Play up to 11 vs. 11

Abstract:B-Human won multiple competitions in the Middle Division of the new Humanoid Soccer League in 2026. In addition to regular matches with three or five players per team, we ventured into uncharted territory by playing demo matches with eleven humanoid robots, highlighting the tactical flexibility of our behavior and the overall robustness of our system. As B-Human formerly competed in the Standard Platform League with robots half the size and less than a third the weight, we begin by outlining the adjustments needed for this transition. The central section of this paper details our behavior architecture, drawing on concepts from RoboCup leagues that have used 11 players for much longer.
