Concept of Mechatronics Modular Design for an Autonomous Mobile Soccer Robot

Cognitive concepts in autonomous soccer playing robots

“…The maximal driving speed has increased up to 3 m s , the kicking strength up to 7 m s [5,6]. The robots are able to dribble the ball [7] and to perform chip kicks.…”

“…Typically, these devices are electrically or pneumatically driven levers which can kick the ball with a speed of up to 20 km/h and a maximal height of 3m above ground [5]. But not only the strength of kicking is important but also the ability to control the ball movement accurately.…”

“…Therefore, all the learned skills that made it inside the competition code have proven their superiority compared to previous hand-coded versions. When all the learned skills are activated in our simulation league agent, up to 80 percent of the decisions in a game are triggered by neural networks 5 . In most cases, we used neural networks for representing the value function, using the batch RL framework described in Section 6.3 as the general learning framework.…”

Development of the color constancy vision algorithms using bio-inspired information processing

“…"Hibikino-Musashi" is a joint RoboCup middle-size league (MSL) soccer team in Kitakyushu Science and Research Park [2,3]. "Musashi" robot is developed based on the concept of the "omni-directional" and "modularity" concept ( Fig.1) [4].…”
