The Team of Bielefeld (ToBI) has been founded in 2009. The RoboCup teams’ activities are embedded in a long-term research agenda towards human-robot interaction with laypersons in regular and smart home environments. The RoboCup@Home competition is an important benchmark and milestone for this goal in terms of robot capabilities as well as the system integration effort. In order to achieve a ro...

attempt to foster AI and intelligent robotics research by providing a standard problem where a wide range of technologies can be integrated and examined. The first RoboCup competition will be held at the Fifteenth International Joint Conference on Artificial Intelligence in Nagoya, Japan. A robot team must actually perform a soccer game, incorporating various technologies, including design prin...

RoboCup is a most challenging project in the field of Artificial Intelligence and Multi-Agent Technology research. In this article, we will discuss some examples showing that RoboCup Simulation League scenarios can also be interesting in the interdisciplinary cooperation between computer science and sport science. One part of the paper concentrates on the generation of surrogate data which can ...

The Team of Bielefeld (ToBI) has been 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 2012, the team concentrates on mixed-initiative scenarios, a generic interaction-pat...

In this work an advanced data logging approach for the RoboCup domain using an autonomous camera man is presented. It includes approaches from the field of real-time robot message logging, situation based camera control and 3D video visualisation. Based on the implementation of this work the RoboCup team of the IPVS of the University of Stuttgart won the first price in the scientific challenge ...
