Lab Project Humanoid Robots (Freiburg, Winter 2007/2008)

Humanoid robots enjoy increasing popularity as a research tool. One of the benchmark applications for humanoid robots is soccer.
The aim of this lab project is to develop new control software for the NimbRo KidSize 2007 robots, which won the RoboCup 2007 Humanoid soccer competitions. This includes components for infrastructure, for perception, and for behavior control.
Software development will be organized in a team and MS Robotics Studio will be used as development environment.
