A team of researchers at the University of Murcia and Valencia Polytechnic Spanish are the only participant in the RoboCup Soccer 2010 World Cup soccer robots to be held in Singapore from 21 to 25 June.
The research group Applied Engineering (RoboticsLab), University of Murcia and researchers of the Institute of Automation and Industrial Informatics (ai2) of the UPV, which, under the name of the noble, they won the RoboCup Open Mediterranean Rome, will team up with French universities of Paris VIII and Versailles and the French School of Electronics and Informatics (EFREI).
With 10 researchers and 6 humanoids, The Three Musketeers, as it is called the combined Spanish-French, Nao robots compete in a model developed by French company Aldebaran.
The RoboCup 2010, which will bring together about 3,000 participants from over 40 countries around the world, is divided into the modalities RoboCup Soccer, which will involve the University of Murcia, RoboCup Rescue, which focuses on robots for search operations and rescue in situations of large-scale disaster; RoboCupJunio aimed at primary and secondary students under 19 years to understand the science and technology through practical experience with electronics, hardware and software, and RoboCup @ Home, which aims is to promote the development of robotic applications that can assist humans in everyday life.
The ultimate goal of the RoboCup project is to develop by 2050 a team of fully autonomous humanoid robots that can play a match against the human world champion team in soccer.
The team from the University of Murcia has undertaken extensive preparations for the heats leading up to the parties, which consist of getting the robots shoot on the goal avoiding an obstacle.
The work of researchers who are struggling in this tournament is primarily focused on programming the robots to be able to recognize the ball, the field lines and the goal toward which you have to run and shoot.
All this information must be processed by the robot in a small computer that carries in his head to make the right decisions at the right moments.
