RoboCup 2008 –Rescue Simulation League Virtual Robot Team Description CSU_YunLu (China)

The CSU_YunLu team aims at the development of an intelligent team of heterogeneous robots that explore an unknown environment quickly and completely while map it accurately. To make each robot know how to response clearly and regularly, a common system structure is designed to guide robots’ behavior. Under this structure, an A-SLAM approach is proposed to conquer the challenges in mapping and localization such that the robots can map and locate the environment accurately. To realize high quality and efficiency of the exploration, an ADPPE exploration strategy is used to make each robot be responsible of different area and search for targets with path planning. Furthermore, to prevent repeated explore among robots, cooperation is adopted by using a teamwork algorithms, which enable the whole team work harmoniously and efficiently.
