An Overview of RoboCup 2002 Fukuoka/Busan

The Keystone Fire Brigade 2003

The Keystone Fire Brigade is a robotic rescue team that has previously competed in competitions at Robocup (Fukuoka, 2002; Padua 2003), AAAI (Edmonton, 2002), and IJCAI (Acapulco, 2003). The key elements of our approach are an emphasis on vision, a fully autonomy solution, and an implementation on inexpensive robot bases. This paper describes the version of the team that competed at IJCAI in 20...

Comments on “ Syntax - phonology interfaces in Busan Korean and Fukuoka Japanese ” by Tomoyuki Kubo

Survey of contamination of estrogenic chemicals in Japanese and Korean coastal waters using the wild grey mullet (Mugil cephalus).

We monitored the contamination by environmental estrogens (EEs) of coastal areas in Korea and Japan using the wild grey mullet. The grey mullet were collected from Ansan, Jeju, Yeosu, Tongyeong, and Busan in Korea and Nagasaki, Omuta, and Fukuoka in Japan. Contamination by EEs was determined by measuring vitellogenin (VTG) levels in serum and identifying gonadal abnormalities histologically (i....

FC Portugal 2D Simulation: Team Description Paper

FC Portugal project intends to continue the research performed during the development of previous FC Portugal RoboCup simulation league teams. These teams had very good results in previous RoboCup simulation competitions. FC Portugal won the simulation league 2D in RoboCup2000 (Melbourne) and won two European championships (Amsterdam2000 and Paderborn2001). FC Portugal team also won the 2002 Co...

A Pragmatic Approach to Robot Rescue: The Keystone Fire Brigade

The Keystone Fire Brigade is a robotic rescue team that has competed in the 2002 competitions in both Fukuoka (RoboCup) and Edmonton (AAAI). The key elements of our approach are emphasis on autonomy, vision-based computing, and implementation on inexpensive robot bases (e.g., toy cars). This paper describes our motivations in developing the Keystone Fire Brigade and describes the key elements o...
