RobotStadium: Online Humanoid Robot Soccer Simulation Competition
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper describes robotstadium: an online simulation contest based on the new RoboCup Nao Standard League. The simulation features two teams with four Nao robots each team, a ball and a soccer field corresponding the specifications of the real setup used for the new RoboCup Standard League using the Nao robot. Participation to the contest is free of charge and open to anyone. Competitors can simply register on the web site and download a free software package to start programming their team of soccer-playing Nao robots. This package is based on the Webots simulation software, the URBI middleware and the Java programming language. Once they have programmed their team of robots, competitors can upload their program on the web site and see how their team behaves in the competition. Matches are run every day and the ranking is updated accordingly in the ”hall of fame”. New simulation movies are made available on a daily basis so that anyone can watch them and enjoy the competition on the web. The contest is running online for a given period of time after which the best ranked competitors will be selected for a on-site final during the next RoboCup event. This contest is sponsored by The RoboCup federation, Aldebaran Robotics, Cyberbotics and Gostai. Prizes includes a Nao robot, a Webots package and a URBI package. 1 Why We Need Another Simulation Competition

The UT Austin Villa 3 D Simulation Soccer Team 2007
In this paper, we describe the soccer playing agent developed by our team UT Austin Villa to participate in the RoboCup 3D simulation soccer competition held in Atlanta, U.S.A., in July 2007. The 2007 competition saw the introduction of a humanoid robot in the 3D simulation league. We present an overview of this new version of the simulation league, followed by a description of our approaches i...
متن کاملFuzzy Omnidirectional Walking Controller for the Humanoid Soccer Robot
Fast and flexible walking is necessary for humanoid robots in the Robocup soccer competition. We propose a new fuzzy-logic control scheme that would enable the robot to realize flexible walking with high standard of stability by restricting the step length and inclining the body of robot to an appropriate logic body control scheme uses the desired walking direction and rotating angle as an inpu...
متن کاملComparison of Obstacle Avoidance Behaviors for a Humanoid Robot in Real and Simulated Environments
RoboCup soccer is still host to frequent collisions between robots that lead to unsavory gameplan that is typically not allowed in human soccer. In the Standard Platform league where ultrasonic sensors are employed, these collisions are forbidden, but there is still leniency in the Humanoid League. Additionally, advanced behaviors, such as dribbling, require robust obstacle avoidance strategies...
