UAVision: A Modular Time-Constrained Vision Library for Soccer Robots

چکیده
The game of soccer is one of the main focuses of the RoboCup competitions, being a fun and entertaining research environment for the development of autonomous multi-agent cooperative systems. For an autonomous robot to be able to play soccer, first it has to perceive the surrounding world and extract only the relevant information in the game context. Therefore, the vision system of a robotic soccer player is probably the most important sensorial element, on which the acting of the robot is fully based. In this paper we present a new modular timeconstrained vision library, named UAVision, that allows the use of video sensors up to a frame rate of 50fps in full resolution and provides accurate results in terms of detection of the objects of interest for a robot playing soccer.

UAVision: A Modular Time-Constrained Vision Library for Color-Coded Object Detection
The ultimate goal of Computer Vision has been, for more than half of century, to create an artificial vision system that could imitate the human vision. The artificial vision system should have all the capabilities of the human vision system but must not carry the same flaws. Robotics and Automation are just two examples of research areas that use artificial vision systems as the main sensorial...

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...
