ObjectiveOne of the ultimate dreams in robotics is to create life-like robotics systems, such as humanoid robots and animal-like legged robots. Sony believes that quadruped robots have major potential for future robotics, because the consumer market of personal entertainment robots has the potential to surpass the static industrial market. Also from AI point of view this personal robots are more interesting than industrial robots, because those robots have to be reasonably intelligent, maintain a certain level of agility, be aware of their environment and be able to engage in some collaborative behaviors with each other and humans. The RoboCup 4-Legged Soccer League is an ideal challenge for a general University, because it defines a standard hardware platform, which allows to excel on algorithms to perceive the environment, to reason about the optimal (joint) actions, and to perform those actions in smooth way.Research group membersProf. dr. ir.
