متن کاملAdaptive Vision for Playing Table Soccer
For real time object recognition and tracking often color-based methods are used. While these methods are very efficient, they usually dependent heavily on lighting conditions. In this paper we present a robust and efficient vision system for the table soccer robot KiRo. By exploiting knowledge about invariant characteristics of the table soccer game, the system is able to adapt to changing lig...
متن کاملStudy of Evolutionary and Swarm Intelligent Techniques for Soccer Robot Path Planning
Finding an optimal path for a robot in a soccer field involves different parameters such as the positions of the robot, positions of the obstacles, etc. Due to simplicity and smoothness of Ferguson Spline, it has been employed for path planning between arbitrary points on the field in many research teams. In order to optimize the parameters of Ferguson Spline some evolutionary or intelligent al...
متن کاملEffective Mechatronic Models and Methods for Implementation an Autonomous Soccer Robot
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...
متن کاملLearning with Table Soccer
In past a few years, table-soccer (foosball) robots can already challenge humans in physical games. KiRo is such a robot, which is robust and can be served alone as a game machine in arcades and pubs. KiRo has a reaction speed higher than even advanced human-players, and it never feels tired; consequently, most humans lose the games. Although KiRo has excellent performance, its strategy can be ...
