An efficacious method to assemble a modern multi-modal robotic team: dilemmas, challenges, possibilities and solutions

A modern multiagent robotic platform consists of a cooperative team of humans which develop a collaborative team of robots. The multi-modal nature of both the system and the team causes a complex problem which needs to be solved for optimum performance. Both the management and the technical aspect of a modern robotic team are explored in this Chapter in the platform of the RoboCup Competition. RoboCup is an example of such an environment where researchers from different disciplines join to develop a robotic team for completion as an evaluation challenge (Robocup, 2011). RoboCup competitions were first proposed by Mackworth in 1993. The main goal of this scientific competition is to exploit, improve and integrate the methods and techniques from robotics, machine vision and artificial intelligence disciplines to create an autonomous team of soccer playing robots(Kitano, 1997a; Kitano, 1997b; Kitano et al., 1997). Such experiment includes several challenges, from inviting an expert of specific field to the team to choosing bolts and nuts for each part of the robots. Usually each challenge has several possible solutions and choosing the best one is often challenging. We have participated in several world wide RoboCup competitions (Abdollahi, Samani et al. 2002, 2003 & 2004) and share our experience as an extensive instruction for setting up a modern robotic team including management and technical issues.Peer ReviewedPostprint (published version

Cultural robotics : The culture of robotics and robotics in culture

By defining the concept of culture, the potential development of culture between humans and robots is explored. Based on the cultural values of the robotics developers, and the learning ability of current robots, cultural attributes in this regard are in the process of being formed, which would define the new concept of cultural robotics. According to the importance of the embodiment of robots in the sense of presence, the influence of robots in communication culture is anticipated. The sustainability of robotics culture based on diversity for cultural communities for various acceptance modalities is explored in order to anticipate the creation of different attributes of culture between robot and humans in the futurePeer reviewe

Design and Development of a Comprehensive Omni directional Soccer Player Robot

Abstract: Omni directional mobile robots have been popularly employed in several applications especially in soccer player robots considered in Robocup competitions. However, omni directional navigation system, omni-vision system and omni-kick mechanism in such soccer player robots have not ever been combined. This situation brings the idea of a robot with no head direction into existence, i.e. a comprehensive omni directional soccer player robot. Such a robot can respond more quickly and it would be capable for more sophisticated behaviors such as ball passing or goal keeping. This paper has tried to focus on description of areas such as omni directional mechanisms, mechanical structure, control, optimized odometry system, omni-vision sensor for self localization and other subjects related to soccer playe
