this paper presents a delay compensator fuzzy control for trajectory tracking of omni-directional mobile robots. fuzzy logic control (flc) of the robots is a suitable strategy for dealing with model uncertainties, nonlinearities and disturbances.  on the other hand, in many robotic applications such as mobile robots, delay phenomenon is able to substantially deteriorate the behavior of system's...

in many autonomous mobile applications, robots must be capable of analyzing motion of moving objects in their environment. duringmovement of robot the quality of images is affected by quakes of camera which cause high errors in image processing outputs. in thispaper, we propose a novel method to effectively overcome this problem using neural networks and kalman filtering theory. thistechnique u...

due to their advantages, omni-directional mobile robots have found many applications especially in robotic soccer competitions. however, omni directional navigation system, omni-vision system and 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 comprehensive omni directional mobile robot. such...

A real time vector field based path planning for attack mode robot and a Petri-net state diagram approach for robot’s role selection for robot soccer games are proposed in this paper Robot soccer game has dynamic environments as different robots intentionally affect the environment in unpredictable ways in a competitive setting. A soccer-playing robot has to take an appropriate action according...

  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...

To make a robot team perform a soccer game, various technologies must be developed. To date, we constructed a multi-sensor based mobile robot for robotic soccer research. Based on this platform, we have implemented some behaviors for playing soccer and the vision system with on-line visual learning function. This year, we refine behaviors for playing soccer since we improve a motor control syst...

This paper presents a hybrid method for learning a dynamic strategy for a robot soccer team. In this method, an imitation learning scheme based on observed robot soccer games is used as a seed for an experience-guided learning scheme based on reinforcement learning. A lack in the application of classic reinforcement learning to the robot soccer problem is the high number of states to be analyze...

The paper discusses a multi-agent system for robot-soccer. The system consists of a supervisory controller, and controllers for attack, defense and goalie robots. Real time vector field based path planning, Petri-net theory and Q-learning technique are used in the design. Robot-soccer system has a dynamic environment. A soccer robot has to take an appropriate decision based on environment situa...

Robot soccer has evolved into a very dynamic and competitive field within the last few years. Many different robot soccer leagues now exist, the league most strongly dedicated to entertainment and edutainment is currently FIRA MiroSot. It has now reached 11 vs. 11 robots sized 7.5 x 7.5 x 7.5 cm on a 440 x 280 cm field and is therefore the first robot soccer league to physically play 11 vs. 11 ...
