Entropy-Based Active Vision for a Humanoid Soccer Robot
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper, we show how the estimation of a robot’s world model can be improved by actively sensing the environment through considering the current world state estimate through minimizing the entropy of an underlying particle distribution. Being originally computationally expensive, this approach is optimized to become executable in real-time on a robot with limited resources. We demonstrate the approach on a humanoid robot, performing self-localization and ball tracking on a RoboCup soccer field.

Effective Mechatronic Models and Methods for Implementation an Autonomous Soccer Robot
Omni directional mobile robots have been popularly employed in several applications especially in soccer player robots considered in Robocup competitions. However, Omni directional navigation system, Omni-vision system and solenoid kicking mechanism in such mobile robots have not ever been combined. This situation brings the idea of a robot with no head direction into existence, a comprehensi...

In this paper, a new biped robot soccer game platform was proposed. The platform is based on biped humanoid robot, it combined the research of robot control, wireless communication, machine vision, which make the humanoid robot game possible. Based on this platform, one can develop more advanced humanoid robot.
متن کاملTask-Oriented Probabilistic Active Vision
In this work, an explicitly task-oriented approach to the active vision problem is presented. The system tries to reduce the most relevant components of the uncertainty in the world model, for the task the robot is currently performing. It is task oriented in the sense that it explicitly considers a task-specific value function. As test-bed for the presented active vision approach, we selected ...
متن کاملA Real-Time Hybrid Architecture for Biped Humanoids with Active Vision Mechanisms
A real-time hybrid control architecture for biped humanoid robots is proposed. The architecture is modular and hierarchical. The main robot’s functionalities are organized in four parallel modules: perception, actuation, world-modeling, and hybrid control. Hybrid control is divided in three behavior-based hierarchical layers: the planning layer, the deliberative layer, and the reactive layer, w...
