In RoboCup Small Size League (the video you posted), the robot tracking software was moved to a standardized, shared system in 2010 (though most solutions had converged well before that), and it, along with the cameras, are provided by the competition field (though, of course, all teams have a practice field set up in their laboratories). Teams get the processed position/heading information for all robots and position of the ball from the field. The robots, planning software/computer, and communication between them are provided by the teams. Robots are required to have standardized tracking patterns on their top surface.

The Mid-Size League shows what's possible using only on-board sensors; of course, they have the advantage of having multiple views of the field (one from each robot).
