The Segway Human Transporter (HT) is a one person dynamically selfbalancing transportation vehicle. The Segway Robot Mobility Platform (RMP) is a modification of the HT capable of being commanded by a computer for autonomous operation. With these platforms, we propose a new domain for human-robot coordination through a competitive game: Segway Soccer. The players include robots (RMPs) and human...

In this paper, a new illumination invariant color model HSy with large discriminating power is proposed for object recognition in autonomous robot soccer. Object recognition for soccer robot is used as a benchmark problem for the proposed color model. Classical illumination invariant color components are analyzed. New illumination invariant color components are defined based on the dichromatic ...

Robotic soccer teams are multi-robot systems that react autonomously and flexibly to dynamic game environment. They can follow many strategies, some of which are imitation of human soccer teams and require multiple robots to perform collectively. The development of such systems exceeds the concept of conventional mechatronic products. During the early development phase, fundamental design probl...

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...

Robot soccer is a challenging platform for multi-agent research, involving topics such as real-time image processing and control, robot path planning, obstacle avoidance and machine learning. The robot soccer game presents an uncertain and dynamic environment for cooperating agents [1][2]. Dynamic role switching and formation control are crucial for a successful game. The fuzzy logic based stra...

In a soccer robot game, the environment is highly competitive and dynamic. In order to work in the dynamically changing environment, the decision-making system of a soccer robot system should have the features of -exibility and on-line adaptation. This paper proposed a strategy-based decision-making system for a soccer robot system. The decision system is based on the proposed self-organizing f...

Soccer robot is a challenging platform for multi-agent research, involving topics such as real-time image processing and control, robot path planning, obstacle avoidance and machine learning. A soccer robot has to take an appropriate decision based on environment situation. With the role of a robot fixed as goalkeeper, the supervisor, according to the game situation, assigns the role of attacki...

This paper brieey deals with the Evolutionary Multi-Agent Robotic System and disccusses the robot soccer platform as its test bed. Though simulator based robot soccer systems and maze contests were in exsitence for a long time, the Micro-Robot World Cup Soccer Tournament (MiroSot) initiated in Korea is one of its rst kinds. The rst and second MiroSot competitions were held in Korea Advanced Ins...

A soccer robot system consists of multi-agents with highly coordinated operations and movements so as to fulfill specific objectives, even under adverse situations. The coordination of multiagents is associated with lot of supplementary work in advance. The associated issues are position correction, prevention of communication congestion, local information sensing in addition to the need for im...

The paper presents design and implementation of embedded control system, communication system, and strategies control algorithms for the robot soccer team. Our research work is focused on advanced hardware and software concept of robot units for the robot soccer and low level strategy algorithms. Developed robots contain powerful and safe hardware components, communication module and software s...
