This work presents methods for tracking objects from noisy and unreliable data taken by a team of robots. We develop a multi-object tracking algorithm based on Kalman filtering and a single-object tracking method involving a combination of Kalman filtering and Markov localization for outlier detection. We apply these methods in the context of robot soccer for robots participating in the middle-...

This paper presents a comparative analysis of three Reinforcement Learning algorithms (Q-learning, Q(λ)-learning and QSlearning) and their heuristically-accelerated variants (HAQL, HAQ(λ) and HAQS) where heuristics bias action selection, thus speeding up the learning. The experiments were performed in a simulated robot soccer environment which reproduces the conditions of a real competition lea...

This document describes the RoboCup Humanoid League team NimbRo of University of Freiburg in preparation for the competition to be held in Osaka in July 2005. Our team uses a variety of robots for playing soccer: RoboSapien, Kondo, Toni, and Fritz. These robots are either constructed in our lab, based on a construction kit, or based on a low-cost commercial robot. The paper describes the robot ...
