چکیده
The GermanTeam is a joint project of several German universities in the Sony Legged Robot League. This report describes the software developed for the RoboCup 2003 in Padova. It presents the software architecture of the system as well as the methods that were developed to tackle the problems of motion, image processing, object recognition, self-localization, and robot behavior. The approaches for both playing robot soccer and mastering the challenges are presented. In addition to the software actually running on the robots, this document will also give an overview of the tools the GermanTeam used to support the development process. In an extensive appendix, several topics are described in detail, namely the installation of the software, how it is used, the implementation of inter-process communication, streams, and debugging mechanisms, and the approach of the GermanTeam to model the behavior of the robots.

متن کاملAdaptive Arc Fitting for Ball Detection in RoboCup
This paper presents an edge-based ball detection system for use in RoboCup robots. The algorithm can be economically coded for real-time operation in integer maths digital signal processing units. It allows colour dependencies in existing ball detection algorithms to be relaxed. This work is undertaken as part of the world-wide RoboCup project which aims to stimulate robot development by invest...

متن کاملToward an Undergraduate League for RoboCup
This paper outlines ideas for establishing within RoboCup a league geared toward, and limited to, undergraduate students. Veterans of RoboCupJunior are outgrowing the league as they enter college and this has motivated us to develop a league especially for undergraduate students — the ULeague. The design of the league, presented here, is based on a simplied setup of the Small-size league by pro...
متن کاملOn Role Allocation in RoboCup
A common problem in RoboCup is role allocation: given a team of players and a set of roles, how should be roles be allocated to players? Drawing on our previous work in multi-robot task allocation, we formalize the problem of role allocation as an iterated form of optimal assignment, which is a well-studied problem from operations research. From this perspective, we analyze the allocation mecha...
