Robot Soccer: Science or Just Fun and Games?

چکیده
RoboCup is an international robot soccer competition that has been running since 1997. A frequent criticism of any such competition is that all of a team’s development is narrowly focussed on a very specific task and consequently, little contribution is made to science. In this paper, we describe our involvement in the RoboCup four-legged robot league and show how the competition has, indeed, resulted in contributions beyond robot soccer. We describe innovations in vision, localisation and locomotion. In particular, we discuss the stimulus that RoboCup has given to system integration and cooperative behaviour between multiple

A review on symmetric games: theory, comparison and applications
Game theory models decision makers' behaviors in strategic situations. Since the structures of games are different, behavior and preferences of the players are different in various types of game. This paper reviews various situations of games. Here, characteristics of some common games are discussed and compared. Specifically, we focus on a group of games called symmetric games including Prison...
متن کاملStudy of Evolutionary and Swarm Intelligent Techniques for Soccer Robot Path Planning
Finding an optimal path for a robot in a soccer field involves different parameters such as the positions of the robot, positions of the obstacles, etc. Due to simplicity and smoothness of Ferguson Spline, it has been employed for path planning between arbitrary points on the field in many research teams. In order to optimize the parameters of Ferguson Spline some evolutionary or intelligent al...

Many RoboCuppers share a dream: a team of fully autonomous humanoid robot soccer players that is capable of playing soccer games against human players by 2050. The demonstration of a human versus robot soccer game at RoboCup 2007 was an exciting display of the progress that has been in RoboCup community since 1997 in terms of the robot’s autonomy, sensing ability, and physical features. This ga...
متن کاملMotion Controller Realizing Cyclic Ball Passing Strategy among Multiple Mobile Robots in Robot Soccer Games
A motion control and the corresponded strategy to realize cyclic ball passing motion in robot soccer games are presented in this paper. By this strategy, multiple mobile robots kick the ball in tum with high speed while they adjust or change their formation. The ball-kick controller is to drive the robot to an adequate position with a prescribed velocity in a fixed finite time. After kicking, t...
متن کاملEffective 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...
