10:00 → 11:00 Robot football, a proving ground for humanoid robotic systems

Robot football, a quasi-standard problem for autonomous humanoid robotic systems, is used to advance innovation and to measure performance in a controlled environment. This complex task requires real-time perception, decision-making and control under strict computational and energy consumption constraints. Additionally, the robots must cooperate as a multi-agent system to achieve fluent and coordinated play. In this talk, we will discuss some of the challenges we faced while implementing a championship-winning software package, such as computer-vision, decision-making, and the use of machine learning for motion-control that we use in international competitions as the HTWK Robots.

Speakers: David Schulte (HTWK Robots), Felix Loos (HTWK Robots), Prof. Konrad Schöbel (HTWK Robots), Max Polter (HTWK Robots), Tobias Jagla (HTWK Robots)
