Layered approach for an autonomous robotic soccer system

Abstract

The Dynamo system is a ground-breaking system for robotic soccer developed at the University of British Columbia. This system introduces a decision making strategy called reactive deliberation used to choose from among hard-wired behaviors. The architecture of the physical RoboSoccer system addresses the combination of high-level and low-level reasoning by viewing the overall system as the combination of mini-robots, a vision camera overlooking the playing field connected to a centralized interface computer, and several clients as the minds of the mini-robot players.
