Robocup

Robocup 2005 is the world-championship in robot football. This might sound funny but is in fact a quite serious scientific event. RoboCup is an international initiative for the promotion of research in the areas “artificial intelligence” and “autonomous mobile robots”. Robot football serves as a standardized problem in which the results of different research disciplines can be directly compared.

The Hamburg Dogbots have qualified themselves to take part in the competitions, specifically in the so called Four-Legged-League. These are dog-like robots fabricated by Sony.

As a team member I will try to report daily (if I find the time) with information about what we do and of course lots of photos. As we will most definately hit the Oska nightlife you can be sure to get some footage on that, too. We might need some time to settle in, so I don't know when I will be able to start posting. Expect it to be sometime on July, 11th.

Until then,
Matthias

UPDATE: For German footage and reports please visit the new official team weblog at www.hamburg-dogbots.de.
