Getting Upright: Migrating Concepts and Software from Four-Legged to Humanoid Soccer Robots
Besides the construction of the robots, the development of control software and tools for simulation and debugging are major topics of interest in the domain of soccer playing humanoid robots. In the RoboCup Four-Legged League, the whole research has—due to the existence of a standard platform—been focused on software development since many years. Therefore, a migration of successful software s...
متن کاملCase Based Game Play in the RoboCup Four-Legged League Part I The Theoretical Model
Robot Soccer involves planning at many levels, and in this paper we develop high level planning strategies for robots playing in the RoboCup FourLegged League using case based reasoning. We develop a framework for developing and choosing game plays. Game plays are widely used in many team sports e.g. soccer, hockey, polo, and rugby. One of the current challenges for robots playing in the RoboCu...
متن کاملPSO-Based Path Planning Algorithm for Humanoid Robots Considering Safety
In this paper we introduce an improvement in the path planning algorithm for the humanoid soccer playing robot which uses Ferguson splines and PSO (Particle Swarm Optimization). The objective of the algorithm is to find a path through other playing robots to the ball, which should be as short as possible and also safe enough. Ferguson splines create preliminary paths using random generated para...
متن کاملVisual Detection of Legged Robots and its Application to Robot Soccer Playing and Refereeing
The visual detection of robots is a difficult but relevant problem in several robotic applications. In the present article, a framework for the robust and fast visual detection of legged-robots is proposed. This framework uses cascades of nested classifiers, the Adaboost boosting algorithm, and domainpartitioning based weak classifiers. Using the proposed framework, frontal, profile and back de...
متن کاملThe University of Pennsylvania Robocup 2004 Legged Soccer Team
This paper presents the software design for a team of soccer playing robots developed at the Univ. of Pennsylvania for the 2004 Robocup competition. The software was a port and slight modification from the 2003 competition code. Lower level sensory and motor functions were first prototyped in Matlab. High level behaviors and team coordination were implemented using an embedded Perl interpreter....
