In Robocup, The most important sensor on humanoid robot soccer is a camera. The camera serves as the eyes of the robot as well as in humans. This camera is used by the robot to detect the ball. The task of Humanoid Robot Soccer as a Goalkeeper is to keep the goal and must be able to block a ball that came directly to the goal from many directions so the ball is not got into the goal. As already...

Robot soccer is a standard problem used in Artiicial Intelligence for research on cooperating autonomous robots. This paper shows that simulation of robot soccer also is an excellent application for studying interactive and collaborative visualization. We have implemented a prototype robot soccer application that simulates a soccer match in real time and allows humans to interact with it in var...

Distributed play-based approaches have been proposed as an effective means of switching strategies during the course of timed, zero-sum games, such as robot soccer. In this paper, we empirically show that different plays have a significant effect on opponent performance in real robot soccer games. We also consider the problem of distributed play recognition: classifying the strategy being playe...

The SocRob project was born as a challenge for multidisciplinary research on broad and generic approaches for the design of a cooperative robot society, involving Control, Robotics and Artificial Intelligence researchers. A case study on Robotic Soccer played by a team of 3 robots has started two years ago and was first tested last year during RoboCup98. This experience has clearly revealed tha...

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...

This paper describes the design of the RoboRoos, a fully autonomous robot soccer team. A soccer robot has similar needs to a human soccer player; fast and agile motion, good control of the ball, strong kicking ability, robust navigation and coordination of actions with other members of the team. Each robot is mechanically designed to meet these needs of a competitive soccer player. Mechanically...

Self-Localization is the basis to realize autonomous ability such as motion planning and decision making for mobile robots, and omnidirectional vision is one of the most important sensors for RoboCup Middle Size League (MSL) soccer robots. According to the characteristic that RoboCup competition is highly dynamic and the deficiency of the current self-localization methods, a robust and real-tim...

Centralized robot soccer becomes more and more popular project of science and technology. Because of its global vision, the decision-making and motion control becomes the keystone and the multilevel hierarchical structure is suitable. The robot controller is the ’Brain-less’ executor, the motion controller includes all kinds of action functions and the organizing level can adopt different decis...

This paper provides a brief description of Robo-Erectus Senior III– a teen size soccer playing humanoid robot developed at Advanced Robotics and Intelligent Control Centre of Singapore Polytechnic. The mechanical and electrical specifications of the robot are described. This paper also covers the vision processing, locomotion control, state-driven Monte Carlo localization and force/torque senso...

The objective of this project is to devise an online control policy for a particular multi-legged robot. The conceptual robot named robotic all-terrain surveyor (RATS) has 12 legs equally distributed over a spherical surface, approximately the size of a soccer ball. The objective of this system is to have the capability to circumvent complex obstacles through rough terrain. Each leg consists of...
