The RoboCup (robot world-cup soccer) effort, initiated to stimulate research in multi-agents and robotics, has blossomed into a significant effort of international proportions. RoboCup is simultaneously a fundamental research effort and a set of competitions for testing research ideas. At IJCAI’97, a broad research challenge was issued for the RoboCup synthetic agents, covering areas of multi-a...

Abs t rac t . RoboCup is an attempt to foster AI and intelligent robotics research by providing a standard problem where wide range of technologies can be integrated and exaznined. The first R o b o C u p competition was held at IJCAI-97, Nagoya. In order for a robot team to actually perform a soccer game, various technologies must be incorporated including: design principles of autonomous agen...

Team ISIS (ISI Synthetic) successfully participated in the rst international RoboCup soccer tournament (RoboCup'97) held in Nagoya, Japan, in August 1997. ISIS won the third-place prize in over 30 teams that participated in the simulation league of RoboCup'97 (the most popular among the three RoboCup'97 leagues). In terms of research accomplishments, ISIS illustrated the usefulness of an explic...

In 2008, UT Austin Villa entered a team in the first Nao competition of the Standard Platform League of the RoboCup competition. The team had previous experience in RoboCup in the Aibo leagues. Using this past experience, the team developed an entirely new codebase for the Nao. In 2009, UT Austin combined forces with Texas Tech University, to form TT-UT Austin Villa. Austin Villa won the 2009 U...

This paper details the hardware, software and electrical design of our new humanoid platform for the adult size league at RoboCup 2014 to be held later this year in João Pessoa, Brazil. THORwIn is a 49Kg bipedal robot that will show our experience from previous RoboCup encounters with Humanoid platforms like DARwIn-OP, CHARLI, and XOS in robot soccer autonomy since RoboCup 2007 [1,2].

In RoboCup’2009 SPL, Carnegie Mellon University participated as CMWrEagle, a joint team between the University of Science and Technology of China, led by Professor Xiaoping Chen, and Carnegie Mellon University, led by Professor Manuela Veloso. For RoboCup’2010, Carnegie Mellon University will be participating as a sole team: CMurfs Carnegie Mellon United Robots for Soccer. We are investigating ...

The Team of Bielefeld (ToBI) was founded in 2009. The robocup activities are embedded in a long-term research history towards human-robot interaction with laypersons in regular home environments. The robocup@home competition is an important benchmark and milestone for the overall research goal. For robocup 2011, the team concentrates on mixed-initiative scenarios, sophisticated scene understand...
