REU 2008-Building the First USF Small Size Robot Team Christopher HobbsMentor: Dr. Alfredo Weitzenfeld Abstract Methodology and Procedures Results There are 4 essential internal components that allow the programming It started with the 1997 defeat of chess world champion Garry Assembled robots competed in RoboCup, of the robot to acquire: Kasparov by Deep Blue, IBM’s chess playing computer. Since this international soccer competition, in China Kicker CardThis controls the kicker it charges power for kicks of battle of man versus machine, the purpose of robotics was to create in July various strengths. robots that would advance artificial intelligence (AI) to a level that replicates the human thought process. RoboCup, an international DSP Card- This card is the brain of the robot it controls the functions of the other cards. robotics soccer competition, supported a platform for the Power card- This sends power through the entire system. advancement of the AI of robotics. Motor Card- This controls all functions of the motors and movements of Project Objective the robots. My duties included constructing the individual components of the To construct the components I had to weld on the individual pieces to robots and assembling them into 3 complete robots. their specified positions such as the power converter on kicker card, and the two regulators on the Motor card. My duties also included checking the circuits on the power card and uploading the program to Robotics is the science and technology of developing robots. the DSP cards. I also assembled the wheels. Each piece had to be place Robotics is a technology that holds many possibilities for correctly in order to fit inside the robots casing. I assembled each robot application. Currently we have robots that build cars, help with search and rescue, and that aid in education and research. Robots by attaching each card on atop each other in the correct order. Power card being the base kicker card and motor the middles section and DSP have the potential to do anything that can and will be done by Conclusion on top. Because of the robots nature, constant movement, this had to be humanity. In the future this list of applications will begin to grow Future work will include: done properly in order to keep the components from damaging without bounds in relation to the development of better AI. The 1. Further development of A.I. system themselves while the robot was in action. Motor Card problem that we face today is creating the AI that will allow robots governing the robots Power Card to echo the reasoning skills of a person. For this reason RoboCup 2. Development of humanoid soccer was formed. RoboCup is an international competition centered on playing robots for competition. designing robots to play soccer. The end goal is for us to construct a humanoid robot soccer team that can beat the reigning world soccer Acknowledgements champs in a game. Constructing robots in order to play soccer might Special Thanks to. seem like a waste of time, but in actuality this unique problem will DSP Card Kicker Card •Dr. Alfredo Weitzenfeld give us insight on future design problems of such a team. •Paolo Aguilar Valiente, •Mr. Bernard Batson •Dr. Miguel A.
