Therefore several issues such as sensors, mechanisms and CPU boards must be taken into consideration before building an autonomous and intelligent system for this category. Each robot must have appropriate sensors and must be able to communicate with other robots to have timely information concerning the ball and robot position in the field. Computing power also becomes and improtant factor in implementing intelligence and autonomy onboard. These issues are discussed.

The action is the primitive low level component of the robot control system necessary to move the robots on the playground. Each action controller determines the linear and angular velocity commands of the robots corresponding to its own purpose. The behavior is the high level component of the robot control system composed of necessary action sequences. Each behavior module determines the desired action sequences and action commands corresponding to its own objective. The behavior selector considering the information that comes from the vision system selects the behavior of each robot every sampling time. Thus, the behavior of each robot is changed dynamically. The presented strategy is successfully applied to the MASKARO team and the team is ranked in the first place in the 2000 FIRA Korea Cup K League.展开更多

The robot must have high response rate, exact motion ability, and must robust enough to confront interfere during drastic match. But during the match, we find that the robot usually do not act exactly as the commands from host computer. In this paper, we analyze the reason and present a method that uses BP neural network to output robotic velocity directly instead of conventional path plan strategy, to reduce the error between actual motion and ideal plan.展开更多
