KgpKubs 2018 Team Description Paper

2013

This paper presents the organization and architecture of a team of soccer-playing Nao robots developed by University of Pennsylvania’s Robocup SPL team. It also documents the e↵orts gone into improving the code base for the 2014 competitive season. All sensory and motor functions are prototyped and run in Lua on the embedded on board processors. High-level behaviors and team coordination modules are implemented by Lua using state machines. The locomotion engine allows for omni-directional motions and uses sensory feedback to compensate for external disturbances. The cognition module helps robot to detect landmarks and localize in a symmetric environment. Through the year, improvements were made across all of the various modules.

This paper presents an overview of RoboFEI team, who will participate in the Small Size League of the RoboCup 2010, to be held in Singapore. The paper contains descriptions of the mechanical, electrical and software modules, designed to enable the robots to achieve playing soccer capabilities in the dynamic environment of the RoboCup Small Size League. 2 Electronic Design 2.1 Main Board The new robot electronics consists of two boards. The main board contains all the electronics required to operate the robot, except the power electronics circuit used by the kicking devices. It features a Xilinx Spartan 3 FPGA (X3CS400), used as CPU, through its Microblaze 7.1 IP core, as brushless motor controller and responsible for communicating with the radio and kicker board.

This is the team description paper of the Robocup Small Size Soccer Robot team "Parsian" for entering the Robocup 2011 competitions in Turkey. In this paper we will represent our robots' current hardware design, as well as the software architecture in detail with focus on new improvements that have been made since last year. Improvements and developments like new mechanical design, new multi-layer planning structure based on predefined plays and regression based travel time estimation will be discussed in detail.

2015

The Small Size League is one of the most important events in RoboCup. This league has encouraged the mechanical design, artificial intelligence, coordination and cooperation of mobile robots. This paper describes the design of our robots for RoboCup 2015 SSL (Small sized league) competition. A pair of robots have been designed and manufactured by PAF Karachi Institute of Economics and Technology (PAF KIET) which will participate in RoboCup 2015. In this paper, we have presented the ideas related to hardware and software designs while emphasis is on the mechanical structure of the robots.

Robotic competitions encourage a developmental style of research and development where large scale robotic systems are incrementally constructed as a whole. This differs from the typical research approach of solving a specific problem in isolation, but is a crucial part of reaching the long-term goals of complex AI systems. This paper outlines the innovation and development of the autonomous UNSW multirobotic system (rUNSWift) that was entered in the Standard Platform Soccer League at the International RoboCup competition in 2012. The challenge is to deliver real-time functionality within the limited resources of an on-board processor. Novel developments in 2012 include: SLAM using one-dimensional SURF features with visual-odometry as a by-product; extending foveated imaging to field-line detection; a unified field-feature sensor model; a dual-mode Kalman filter to help disambiguate the symmetric field; robot-detection data-fusing visual and sonar observations; multi-robot tracking of the ball; and omni-directional kicking. The rUNSWift system was ranked in the top three worldwide .

This paper briefly explains the current development status of the recently reformed RoboCup Small-Size League(SSL) robot team, RoboTurk. RoboTurk SSL robot soccer system is designed under the RoboCup 2011 SSL rules so as to participate in RoboCup competition being held for the first time in Turkey. This year we have made crucial changes in the 2009's design, and in fact, all the hardware and software modules are redesigned. Most of the effort spent on the mechanical structure of the robot, motor driver board, main control board, and ROS [1] based software architecture with the close-to-real simulation environment in Webots[2].
