A Hybrid Software Platform for Sony AIBO Robots
نویسندگان
چکیده
In the development of robotic systems, an interactive software platform plays an important role for control design and parameter optimisation. This paper presents a modular approach to the development of a hybrid software platform for Sony quadruped robots. Such a platform consists of an overhead vision system, a Sony AIBO robot and a desktop PC, and is designed to be interactive in order to speed up the development of various algorithms for object recognition and gait generation. Based on this platform, both the colour segmentation algorithm and the gait control algorithm are investigated. The experimental results are presented to show its operation and good performance.

Aibo and Webots: Simulation, wireless remote control and controller transfer
This article introduces a new software tool that provides an accurate simulation of Sony Aibo robots and the capability to transfer controller programs from the simulation to the real robot. Five components are described: (1) a simulated physics-based model of the Sony Aibo ERS-210(A) and ERS-7 quadruped robots; (2) a graphical user interface for controlling the simulated and real robots; (3) a...
متن کاملTowards Learning and Evolving of a Team of Sony Legged Robots
This paper presents a hybrid approach to learning and evolving of a team of Sony legged robots (AIBO) in the robot football domain. These advanced walking robots aim to participate in the Sony Legged Robot League within the RoboCup competition. To achieve this goal, three important issues have been addressed in the paper:(i) multi-sensor based distributed perception, (ii) behaviour based approa...
متن کاملCommunity Driven Artificial Intelligence Development for Robotics
The robotics have been advanced greatly along with the computer technologies since the 20th century and the improvements in hardware components enabled the development of complicated mobile robots. Grey Walter and Valentino Braitenburg (Iizuka, 2004) developed simple wheeled robots to traverse their environment with light sensors, but these systems were inflexible and nonreprogrammable. To over...
متن کاملA New, Open and Modular Platform for Research in Autonomous Four-Legged Robots
In this paper the design goals for a new, open and modular, four-legged robot platform are described that was developed in reaction to the open call for a standard platform issued by the RoboCup Federation in 2006. The new robot should have similar motion and sensing capabilities like the previously used Sony AIBO plus several new ones. The hardware and software should be open, modular and reco...
متن کاملThe Standard Platform League
The Standard Platform League is unique among RoboCup soccer leagues for its focus on software. Since all teams compete using the same hardware (a standard robotic platform), success is predicated on software quality, and the shared hardware makes quality judgments simpler and more objective. Growing out a league based on the Sony AIBO quadruped robots, the league has constantly evolved while mo...
