  1. ROBO SOCCERAS A SYSTEM LEVEL TEACHING PLATFORM Main building of Helsinki Polytechnic Stadia. The Robot Football system is located in a house across the yard Kai LINDGREN Helsinki Polytechnic StadiaIn autumn 2008: “Metropolia” April 6, 2008

  2. USE IN STADIA (MiroSot) Hardware and system-level programs are in the responsibilityof Merlin Systems Corp., Ltd. Plymouth, England. HOORAY ! Hardware solutions teached for own students Firmware and strategy programs written by own students from scratch April 6, 2008

  3. Insect Robot of Stadia In the early 90s April 6, 2008

  4. General view of the apparatus April 6, 2008

  5. News of robot football In a Finnish newspaper ”Metro” on Apr. 6, 2004 April 6, 2008

  6. SYSTEM STRUCTURE ”MiroSot” • Football pitch (field) circa 1,8m x 2,2m • TV-camera for each team • PC (computer) for each team • 5 MiroSot robots for each side (or 3/2/1 or …) PC interprets the view (robot and ball positions) and sends (Bluetooth) individual commands for the robots of own team. April 6, 2008

  7. SYSTEM PICTURE April 6, 2008

  8. Miabot ROBOT STRUCTURE • Cubic-form with edge lenght of 7.5 cm • One wheel on each side. Own motor for both wheels, battery operated • Motors powered with pulses done with AVR-type micro controller • Communication with PC done with AVR-type micro controller • Separate Bluetooth-module converts communication to virtual serial connections (COM-ports) April 6, 2008

  9. ROBOT PICTURES Merlin Miabot Pro Robot- Of MiroSot type- Two AVR-controllers- Fast, robust and heavy Merlin Miabot Classic Robot- One AVR-controller- Slow, cheaper April 6, 2008

  10. MORE PICTURES Merlin Miabot Pro Control Boardwith Bluetooth Daughter Board on top The robots may be controlled manually with joystick controllers April 6, 2008

  11. ACHIEVMENTS IN STADIA One course realized inEmbedded Systems- Firmware programming from scratch - Bluetooth communication with PC- Run direct lines or circles Two courses realized in Sytem structure- Light adjustments- Bluetooth adjusments Strategy simulation seminars many times - For students and teachers April 6, 2008

  12. FINAL WORKS, 15 ECTS - Nikolai Barmin: FW-programming - Teemu Sarvamaa: System structure and simple programming in PC - Mikko Pasanen: Light and Bluetooth adjustment and strategy programming in PCNow in construction April 6, 2008

  13. STRATEGY SKELETON ”DIEGO” In use now. Lacks and development tasks: 1 The strategy do not try to prevent robots from colliding each other 2 Basically the strategy is only for 3 players for there is only one kind of attacker and defender. 3 Also I think that the accuracy of robotic movements should be revised. 4 The exact logic of all decisions should be checked 5 The indentation of the program should be checked 6 The program should be more commented 7 Some often repetitive tasks should be separated to new functions 8 The collided robots must be got apart immediately of the walls of the pitch or the other players. April 6, 2008

  14. Arg(x+yi) double angle (double x, double y) { if (abs(x) < 1E-6 && abs(y) < 1E-6) return 360; // Error if (abs(x) < 1E-6 && y > 0) return 90; if (abs(x) < 1E-6 && y < 0) return -90; double a=atan (y/x); if (x > 0) // I or IV return a; else // x < 0, that is II or III if (y >= 0) // II return 180+a else // III return -180+a; } Example of strategy development tasks7”Some often repetitive tasks should be separated to new functions” April 6, 2008

  15. FUTURE PLANS IN STADIA • Establishing of many teams to compete in strategy programming • Programming of control systems • Switching to potential field strategy skeleton ”Nottingham” • Free RoboSoccer Online game: Play and download free online games ... • … April 6, 2008
