  1. Interim Presentation Advancing the soccer robot Ben Jenkins Supervisors: Gordon Lowe, Dr. Haim Hiok Lim Mentor: Charles Greif

  2. Overview • Background • Objective • This years work • Further development • Additional information

  3. What is the soccer robot • Autonomous vehicle • Plays soccer • Development at Monash Uni started in 1999 • My research topic for Hons • RoboCup hosts soccer competitions

  4. RoboCup • Worldwide research and education initiative • Foster AI and intelligent robotics research • Provides a standard problem where a wide range of technologies can be used. • Project-oriented education.

  5. Camera and mirror Computer Wheels and drive train The soccer robot to date

  6. Camera and mirror Wheels and motors Motherboard and misc electronics Pneumatic kicker Soccer ball The soccer robot to date

  7. Why the soccer robot? • Personal research and development • By the year 2050, develop a team of fully autonomous humanoid robots that can win against the human world soccer champion team. - RoboCup

  8. Domestic servants Bomb disposal Applications • Fire fighting • Robocop • Soccer player

  9. Sensors Field Positioning System Artificial Intelligence Motion Building blocks For the computer buffs Pentium 233MHz, 32M RAM, 40M Disk on chip Hard disk & floppy drive removed QNX real-time operating system.

  10. Objective • To be able to make the robot “see” the ball and be able to move towards it.

  11. This years work • Revamp design computers • Hard disk errors • Speed • Reaching the end of there reliable lifespan • Problems • Configuring QNX networks • Transfer code from old machines

  12. This years work (cont) • Understand previous years contributions • AI (Artificial intelligence) • FPS (Field Positioning System) • MCS (Motion Control System) • MPM (Message Passing Module) • Sensory system • Mechanical system

  13. This years work (cont) • Convert motion code from windows to QNX. • Problems I am anticipating • Windows is not a RTOS • QNX has advanced IPC techniques

  14. This years work (cont) • Integrate new motion with previous modules • Test and debug

  15. Further development • Make robot hit the ball • Fine tune the robot to kick goal • Make robot work as team member • Enhance motion • 400mm/sec max speed • 2500mm/sec to be competitive
