Cooperative robot software development through the internet

This article discusses opportunities for the use of crowdsourcing and gamification models in the development of software solutions and algorithms for humanoid robots. An Internet-based online competition is used for accumulation of novel software solutions from participants. The project provides remote access to an actual humanoid robot for developing and testing submitted software, and successful solutions are placed in competition for defining the best software. The name of this project is thus the “League of Everybody” (LoE). This article describes our early achievements and future plans for LoE.
