Motion sequence for holding the ball and turning toward the goal ... too small and has the same color as the goal. We need the size of a baseball, but lighter ...
E N D
1. Mini-RoboCup Huai-Ping Lee and Lei Wei
2. Introduction Goal: let AIBOs play soccer
But we only have one (or two) AIBO now
Perhaps one AIBO as striker and the other one as goal keeper
3. Techniques Involved Basic motion sequences
Kicking, holding, dribbling, saving, etc.
Vision
Recognizing the ball, the goal and some markers on the field
Localization
Knowing where it is on the field
4. Current Progress Motion sequence for kicking
By editing joint angles and its duration (time consuming!)
Like key-framing
ControllerGUI in Tekkotsu can help us to get joint angles
Diving is the most effective kicking style (video)
Also need a carpet that is soft enough to let it dive safely
Other kicking methods can kick toward different directions, but not accurate
5. Current Progress Motion sequence for holding the ball and turning toward the goal
Turn, move to left or right, and move backward at the same time to make the head always point to the ball (video)
Hope to add motions of front legs and the head to protect the ball
6. Current Progress We can use Easytrain to let it recognize new things
The tennis ball we used is too small and has the same color as the goal
We need the size of a baseball, but lighter and with a bright color
Of course the AIBO pink ball is the best
Please tell us if you have one
$15.00 on eBay
7. EasyTrain
8. Future Work Compute the coordinates of the ball
Localization by recognizing markers
Game strategy
More fancy motion sequence, if time permits
Defense!
