Introduction
As shown in the figure below, in the
MiroSot category there are three robots
sized 7.5cm X 7.5cm X 7.5cm. The playground
is 170cm X 130cm, including the goal
post. The CCD camera is placed at a
height of 2m above the playground. Each
team will have its own host computer.
The duration of a game shall be two
equal periods of 5 min each, with a
half time interval of 10 minutes during
which the participants can change batteries
and modify the strategy.
The robot system is composed of the
battery, the motor driving parts, the
micro-controller and the communication
part. Communication between the host
computer and the robots is wireless
using infrared transmission technology.
The host computer of each team sends
data to the robots to control them.
The information sent is the velocity
of the left and the right wheel of each
robot. The human operator should not
directly control the motion of their
robots either with a joystick or by
keyboard commands under any circumstances,
except start, stop and restart commands.
Other information, such as game strategy,
can be communicated to robots only when
a game is not in progress. The rules
of the robot soccer, which are defined
by FIRA (please refer to the rules in
the FIRA homepage, (http://www.fira.net),
are similar to a real soccer game including
fouls, free kicks, penalty kicks. etc.
For each team, the robot soccer system
is mainly composed of three robots,
the vision system and the host computer.
The vision system contains of a color
CCD camera and an image grabber board
for processing the image information.
The camera is the external image sensor.
The cooperation and control of mobile
robots and the game strategies have
to be implemented.
The host computer transmits commands
about the strategy after processing
the vision data, which contains information
about the position of the ball and the
robots.
The objective of the Internet education
program is to understand the functioning
of the micro-robots, the robot soccer
system in general and how to design
of the application software. |

MICRO
ROBOT MAZE
| |
 |
|
In this category you
will build a micro robot that is sized
less than 5cm cubic and program the
robot for running through the maze.
The robot must pass the 2 checkpoints
- Point 1 and Point 2 and arrive at
the end point. The robot, which passes
all the checkpoints and finishes in
the shortest time, will win the contest.
The micro
-robot runs through the paths between
the squares with 2 tactile sensors placed
in front. |
| |
The sensors make it possible
for the robot to find out whether there
is a wall in front. If the micro-robot
approaches the wall, the tactile sensor
turns on, and when the micro-robot moves
away from the wall, the tactile sensor
turns off. By using this mechanism the
program for running through the maze
must be written.
The robot uses the 89C2051 micro-controller,
which is the brain of the micro-robot.
It also contains memory for storing
programs. It receives the data from
the tactile sensors, judges the environment
and controls two motors. |

ROBOT
TAEKWONO
| |
 |
|
Robot Taekwondo is an martial art
on a square playing field sized 1m x
1m done by micro-robots, which follows
a simplified version of Taekwondo rules.
The overall Taekwondo robot system is
the same a robot soccer system adopted
by FIRA. It uses an overhead CCD camera
over the playing field as a vision system
for locating home robot and opponent
robot by detecting color patches. As
team colors, blue and yellow are used
as in MiroSot. |
| |
It is one-on-one game between two MiroSot
robots with an attachment of color target
patch. Goal is to attack the target
patch attached to the rear side of the
opponent robot.
The game has a score defined below and
consists of two rounds. The winner is
decided by score. As the game is a kind
of fighting, it is allowed to push the
opponent robot outside of the playing
field. Thus it is scored if the opponent
robot is pushed to outside of the playing
field. Figure show initial positions
of the robots. |
