چکیده

The ability to autonomously adapt to variations in the environmental conditions is a very useful feature for mobile robots. Of particular interest in robotic soccer are self-calibrating vision systems that automatically adapt to local lighting conditions. The paper presents a method for autonomous calibration of a color classificator used for color blob-based image segmentation and landmark and object recognition. The experimental results demonstrate significantly improved robustness of visual processing.

Self-calibration of Colormetric Parameters in Vision Systems for Autonomous Soccer Robots

Vision is an extremely important sense for both humans and robots, providing detailed information about the environment. In the past few years, the use of digital cameras in robotic applications has been significantly increasing. The use of digital cameras as the main sensor allows the robot to capture the relevant information of the surrounding environment and take decisions. A robust vision s...

Playing Soccer with RoboSapien

Due to limited availability of humanoid robots and the high costs involved, multi-agent experiments with humanoid robots have been at least difficult so far. With the introduction of RoboSapien, a low-cost humanoid robot developed for the toy market, this situation has changed. This paper describes how we augmented multiple RoboSapiens to obtain a team of soccer playing humanoid robots. We adde...
