...Xiaoxiao Zhu; Qixin Cao Purpose The purpose of the present paper is to propose a full model‐based method for distance‐mapping calibration for the non‐SVP (non‐single viewpoint) catadioptric camera of the soccer robot. The method should be easy to operate, efficient, accurate, and scalable to fit...

...S. Hamidreza Kasaei; S. Mohammadreza Kasaei; S. Alireza Kasaei; S. Amirhassan Monadjemi Purpose 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...

...S. Hamidreza Kasaei; S. Mohammadreza Kasaei; S. Alireza Kasaei; S. Amir Hassan Monadjemi; Mohsen Taheri Purpose The purpose of this paper is to design and implement a team of middle size soccer robots to conform RoboCup middle‐size league. Design/methodology/approach First, according...

...Manuel A. Armada; Brett Browning; Jeremy Searock; Paul E. Rybski; Manuela Veloso Purpose To adapt the segway RMP, a dynamically balancing robot base, to build robots capable of playing soccer autonomously. Design/methodology/approach Focuses on the electro‐mechanical mechanisms required...

...Christine Connolly Robot football uses autonomous vehicles that respond to unpredictable events. It presents engineering challenges embracing a wide range of disciplines, and attracts and holds the interest of undergraduates and postgraduates, educationists, school children and laymen. National...

... current research efforts to build a multi‐agent system for cooperation and learning of multiple life‐like robots in the RoboCup domain. A behaviour‐based hierarchy is proposed for the Essex Rovers robot football team to achieve intelligent actions in real time, which includes both a neural network‐based...
