Designing a Team of Soccer-playing Humanoid Robots
نویسندگان
چکیده
Robotic soccer superseded chess as a challenge problem and benchmark for artificial intelligence research and poses many challenges for robotics. The international RoboCup championships grew to the most important robotic competition worldwide. After preliminary competitions, for the first time soccer games with humanoid robots were played in Osaka 2005. This paper describes the mechanical and electrical design of our robots, which took part as team NimbRo at the competitions. The paper also covers the software used for perception, behavior control, communication, and simulation. Our robots performed well at RoboCup 2005. They came in second and third in the overall Best Humanoid ranking, next only to the titleholder, Team Osaka.

PSO-Based Path Planning Algorithm for Humanoid Robots Considering Safety
In this paper we introduce an improvement in the path planning algorithm for the humanoid soccer playing robot which uses Ferguson splines and PSO (Particle Swarm Optimization). The objective of the algorithm is to find a path through other playing robots to the ball, which should be as short as possible and also safe enough. Ferguson splines create preliminary paths using random generated para...
متن کاملPlaying Soccer with RoboSapien
Due to limited availability of humanoid robots and the high costs involved, multi-agent experiments with humanoid robots have been at least difficult so far. With the introduction of RoboSapien, a low-cost humanoid robot developed for the toy market, this situation has changed. This paper describes how we augmented multiple RoboSapiens to obtain a team of soccer playing humanoid robots. We adde...
متن کاملGetting Upright: Migrating Concepts and Software from Four-Legged to Humanoid Soccer Robots
Besides the construction of the robots, the development of control software and tools for simulation and debugging are major topics of interest in the domain of soccer playing humanoid robots. In the RoboCup Four-Legged League, the whole research has—due to the existence of a standard platform—been focused on software development since many years. Therefore, a migration of successful software s...
متن کاملModeling Observation Uncertainty for Soccer Playing Humanoid Robots
In recent years, humanoid robot soccer robots have shown increasingly robust and fast locomotion, making perception, world modeling and behavior control important. In this paper, we present the world modeling approach of the Darmstadt Dribblers humanoid robot team, which won the competitions in the RoboCup Humanoid KidSize League in 2009 and 2010. The paper focuses on modeling observation uncer...
متن کاملPlaying Soccer with Humanoid Robots
As step towards the long-term goal of winning against the FIFA world champion, the RoboCup Federation added in 2002 a league for humanoid robots to its annual soccer competitions. Now, the young Humanoid League raised the bar again. After preliminary competitions, for the first time, soccer games with humanoid robots were played in 2005. This article describes the technology of the humanoid soc...
