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.
