The FUTEPOLI Team Homepage
The RoboCup - Robotic Soccer Cup - domain was proposed by several researchers in order to provide a new long-term challenge for Artificial Intelligence research. Soccer games between robots constitute real experimentation and testing activities for the development of intelligent, autonomous robots, which cooperate among each one to achieve a goal.
The operation of each teams follows one same basic formula: each team carries a image acquisition through its camera and then processes the picture using Computational Vision techniques to discover the position and velocity of all the robots and the ball. With this information, a decision system defines the best strategy to apply and the movements of each robot at a defined moment. In the Micro Robot and the Small League, all this processing is carried through in a central computer. With the decision of the robot movements, a radio based communication system sends for the robots a message describing the movements that must be done.
The FUTEPOLI Team was developed during 1998 to compete in the First Brazilian Micro Robot Soccer Cup. Several researchers and students were involved in its construction:
