Mail by Deputy Head of Department, Edip Senyurek (30.Jan. 2018)


Dear Valuable Students, I would like to mention that you will have a cognitive robotics with Prof. Burkhard. He is mentioning about some important issues about to manage class activities as follows: (Please follow the rules which are mentioned below.) - strict attendance at the course, - participation at the project and doing homework, - work in groups with about 5 members, - sending reports about their work in time, - no possibility for later work after the course is finished.

Competition Programs Sample programs are provided by packages examples.agentSimpleSoccer examples.agentSoccerTeam which have already some basic skills for walk, turn, kick, … You can modify and extend them with • new/better skills (e.g. walk/kick sidewards or backwards), • better perception, • more intelligent behavior etc.

More details below.


Competition Rules Each team can have at most 2 players in the field. You can develop different strategies for playing as offending resp. defending team. Your players may act according to specific roles e.g. Attacker, Supporter, Defender, Goalkeeper, … That is up to your choice (and programming). The initial poses must regard special constraints (depending on attacking/defending team, see next slide) .



Offending team (left team with kick-off): Both players outside of blue area (Distance to ball >=1m )

Initial poses

Defending team (right team) Player 1: outside of read area (BeamX< -3 & -1.5 < BeamY < 1.5 ) Player 2: outside of red and yellow areas (-1.5 < BeamY < 1.5 )


Each half starts with kickoff (“k” and “b”) • ball at the point in the middle, • players at initial positions.

After scoring, the match is continued with kickoff (“k” and “b”) from the same initial positions (left site team remains offending). If ball goes outside field , the game is started again, elapsed time is regarded. Special rules can apply for crowding and unfair blocking. If goalkeeper does not stand up after 15 sec.: Goal for opponents, start again, elapsed time is regarded..

Competition Rules


A match consists of 2 halfs (2 minutes each). Playing offenders/defenders is changed in 2nd half. The winner of a match is determined by goal difference. Winner gets 3 points. In case of draw, both teams get 1 point. The winner is the team with the most points.

In case of draw, the total goal difference counts. If still draw, the direct matches are regarded. If there is no result, a coin toss will be used.

Preparation


Each group prepares 2 complete RoboNewbie projects for - Offending team final String team = "<name of your team>_Offenders"; - Defending team final String team = "<name of your team>_Defenders";

Give your projects the same names. Each project must be complete for playing (with all programs and keyframe files). Prepare 2 zip-files and send by email as requested. For each match: Start of the programs by one group member.

The Dominators 1) Aditya Kumaraswami ( Team Leader) 2) Colin Christian ( Offender) 3) Daksh Rawal ( Offender) 4) Digvijay Patel (defender) 5) Hiren Devmurari (defender)
