RoboCup is an international competition in the field of robotics, the
|
||||
ultimate goal of which is to win a game of soccer against a human team by the
|
||||
middle of the 21st century. The motivation behind this objective is the
|
||||
following: it is impossible to achieve such an ambitious goal with the current
|
||||
state of technology, which means that the RoboCup competitions will drive
|
||||
scientific and technological advancement in such areas as computer vision,
|
||||
mechatronics and multi-agent cooperation in complex dynamic environments. The
|
||||
RoboCup teams compete in five different leagues: Humanoid, Standard Platform,
|
||||
Medium Size, Small Size and Simulation. Our work in this semester was based on
|
||||
the rules of the Standard Platform league. In this league all teams use the
|
||||
same robot \textit{Nao}, which is being produced by the SoftBank Robotics. We
|
||||
will describe the capabilities of this robot in more detail in the next
|

chapter.

One of the most notable teams in the Standard Platform League is

\textit{B-Human}. This team represents TU Bremen, and in the last nine years

they won the international RoboCup competition six times and twice were the

runner-up. The source code of the framework that B-Human use for programming

their robots is available on GitHub, together with an extensive documentation,

which makes the B-Human framework an attractive starting point for RoboCup

beginners.
