RoboCup Robot SoccerRoboCup is a international initiative to promote research
in
artificial
intelligence and autonomous mobile robots. Each year the
RoboCup
Foundation hosts international tournaments where top
research groups of
Universities from the whole world participate.Since 2008, the University of Erlangen-Nuremberg also has
its own
RoboCup team that participates in the small-size league.
This league is
one of the smallest and fastest RoboCup leagues. Five
wheeled robots per
team are playing on a field of about 6m x 4m. The maximum
size for each
robot is 18cm in diameter and a height of 15 cm. The
robots
get
information about the current game situation from two
cameras above the
field and an external computer, which communicates with
the
robots via a
wireless link. In Erlangen the team is organized as an interdisciplinary
student
project at the Technical Department. The main goals of
this
project are
to foster creative ideas and team work among technical
students from
electrical engineering, mechatronics and computer
science.
Research
topics include topics from pattern recognition, embedded
systems and
artificial intelligence. In the scope of this project the
Pattern
Recognition Lab employs statistical estimation techniques
and tries to
extend them towards automotive applications. To promote the project, a non-profit organisation called
"Robotics Erlangen e.V." was founded in 2008. In this
organization team
members as well as supporters of the group are brought
together. The
project is funded in part by tuition fees as well as
private
and
industry donations. | Project manager: Prof. Dr. Björn Eskofier
