Object recognition is one of the most important processes for robot soccer in the standard platform robot league. Main task of the vision system of robot soccer while playing is recognizing and tracking the objects like ball, goalposts, robots of the same team and rival robots in the game. The basic idea of several object recognition methods, especially in robot soccer and RoboCup environment, ...

The goal of this work is to develop a humanoid robot’s perceptual system through the use of learning aids. We describe methods to enable learning on a humanoid robot using learning aids such as books, drawing materials, boards, educational videos or other children toys. Visual properties of objects are learned and inserted into a recognition scheme, which is then applied to acquire new object r...

Using this technique, a robot can operate in an environment without a priori knowledge of a map and its location in the world. This is a critical skill that can be utilized in a wide range of applications that require a robot to be able to explore a region and return to its starting location, learn different paths to key locations in a world, and to traverse a region completely. Such applicatio...

The GermanTeam is a joint project of several German universities in the Sony Legged Robot League. This report describes the software developed for the RoboCup 2001 in Seattle. It presents the software architecture of the system as well as the methods that were developed to tackle the problems of motion, image processing, object recognition, self-localization, and robot behavior. The approaches ...

A Personal robot, which is expected to become popular in the future, is required to be active in joint work and community life with humans. Therefore, the purpose of this study is the development of new mechanisms and functions for a humanoid robot that has the ability to express human-like emotion and communicate naturally with a human, in order to realize a personal robot. Recently, the Emoti...
