This paper deals with the trajectory planning of multi agent robots using complex potential theory for robot soccer. The complex potential theory is introduced, then the circle theorem is used to avoid obstacles, and the vortex pair is used to make precise kicking direction of robot. Various situations of robot soccer are simulated and the effect of vortex strength and the speed of robots are discussed and the better way to avoid obstacles and to kick the precise direction is found. The feasibilities of complex potential theory to apply for the multi agent robots are successful.

In this paper, we introduce an intelligent quadruped walking robot that can perform stable walking and a couple of intelligent behaviors. The developed robot has two sets of ultrasonic sensors and six sets of infrared sensors and can perform obstacle avoidance by detecting obstacles and estimating the distances and directions of those obstacles. The robot also has a stereo camera and can paly soccer by detecting a ball and estimating the 3 dimensional coordinates of the ball. In performing those intelligent behaviors, the robot needs to have the capability of generating its walking patterns, solving the inverse kinematics problem, and interfacing several sensors in realtime. Therefore we designed a hierarchical controller that consists of a main controller and an auxiliary controller. The main controller is a 32-bit DSP that can perform fast floating-point opertaion and the auxiliary one is a 8-bit micro-controller. We showed that the developed quadruped walking robot successfully perform those intelligent behaviors through experiments.

In this paper, a new model for mobile soccer robot, a type of linear system, is presented. A controller, consisting of two loops the one of which is the inner state feedback loop designed for stability and plant be well conditioned and the outer loop is a well-known PI controller designed for tracking the reference input, is suggested. Because the plant, the soccer robot, is parameter dependent, it requires the controller to be insensitive to the parameter variation. To achieve this objective, the pole-sensitivity as a pole-variation with respect to the parameter variation is defined and design algorithms for state-feedback controllers are suggested, consisting of two matrices one of which is for general pole-placement and other for parameter insensitive. This paper shows that the PI controller is equivalent to the state feedback and the cost function for reference tracking is equivalent to the LQ cost. By using these properties, we suggest a tuning procedure for the PI controller. We that the control algorithm in this paper, based on the linear system theory, is well work by simulation, and the LPD system modeling and control are more easy treatment for soccer robot.

In this paper, the multiple micro robot soccer playing system is introduced at first. Learning and evolving in artificial agents is a difficult problem, but on the other hand a challenging task. In our laboratory, this soccer studies mainly centered on single agent learning problem. The construction of such experimental system has involved lots of kinds of challenges such as robot designing, vision processing, motion controlling. At last we will give some results showing that the proposed approach is feasible to guide the design of common agents system.

지능 제어, 통신, 컴퓨터 및 센서 기술, 영상 처리, 메카트로닉스 등과 같은 다양한 분야에서 로봇 축구 시스템에 대한 연구가 진행되고 있다. 그중 전략 연구는 대부분 공격 전략 연구에 치중하고 있으며, 점차 지능적인 공격 전략을 구현하는 방향으로 흘러가고 있다. 이에 따라 과거의 단순한 수비 전략으로는 완전한 수비가 불가능하게 되었다. 따라서, 지능적인 공격을 효율적으로 수비할 수 있는 수비 전략이 필요하며, 효율적인 수비를 위하여 공격자 로봇의 의도 추출이 필요하다. 본 논문에서는, 퍼지 최대 최소 신경망을 이용한 축구 로봇의 공격 의도 추출기를 설계하였다. 첫째로 축구 로봇 시스템에서의 의도를 정의하고 의도 추출에 대하여 설명한다. 다음으로 설계한 퍼지 최대 최소 신경망을 이용하여 설계한 축구 로봇의 의도 추출기에 대하여 설명한다. 퍼지 최대 최소 신경망은 패턴분류 방법 중의 하나로 온라인 적용, 짧은 학습 시간, 소프트 결정(soft decision) 등의 많은 장점을 갖고 있다. 따라서, 다이나믹한 환경을 가진 축구 로봇 시스템의 의도 추출에 적합하다. 이 의도 추출기는 상대 팀 로봇이 공격시 어떠한 상황에서 어떠한 행동을 할 것인가를 미리 알아내어 수비 시 이용할 수 있도록 하며, 학습을 통하여 의도 추출을 함으로써 상대 팀 경기를 보고 팀의 전략을 파악하는 전략 분석기로도 사용이 가능하다. 자체 제작한 3대3 로봇 축구 시뮬레이터를 이용하여 시뮬레이션을 하였으며, 학습을 함에 따라서 의도 추출률이 증가함을 확인할 수 있었다.

In this paper, we propose a hierarchical motion controller with stand-alone vision system to enhance the flexibility of the robot soccer system. In addition, we simplified the model of dynamic environments of the robot using petri-net and simple state diagram. Based on the proposed model, we designed the robot soccer system with velocity and position controller that includes 4-level hierarchically structured controller. Some experimental results using the stand-alone vision system from host system show improvement of the controller performance by reducing processing time of vision algorithm.

In this paper, we present the ball position and path plain method for the robot-soccer using optical flow. As we compare a optical flow method with a general method within the accurate and effective ball position information of robot-soccer or the path planning, we prove accurate and effective optical flow algorithm to apply ball position and path plain for robot-soccer

In this paper we present the multi-agent robot system and the vision system developed for participating in micro robot soccer tournament. The multi-agent robot system consists of micro robot, a vision system, a host computer and a communication module. Micro robot are equipped with two mini DC motors witf encoders and gearboxes, a R/F receiver, a CPU and infrared sensors for obstacle detection. A vision system is used to recognize the position of the ball and opponent robots, position and orientation of our robots. The vision system is composed of a color CCD camera and a vision processing unit(AISI vision computer). The vision algorithm is based on morphological method. And it takes about 90 msec to detect ball and 3-our robots and 3-opponent robots with reasonable accuracy

This paper describe a trajectory generation method for a soccer robot using cubic Bezier curve. It is proposed that the method to determine the location of control points. The control points are determined by the distance and the velocity parameters of start and target positions. Simulation results show its traceability of the trajectory of mobile robot.
