Abstract

We propose a legged robot platform for RoboCup based on OPENR, which is proposed as a standard architecture for Robot Entertainment, a new entertainment field devoted to autonomous robots. The platform will be provided as a complete autonomous agent so that researchers are able to start working within their research fields. It is possible to rewrite all of, or parts of, the software of the RoboCup player. The configuration of the platform is quadruped type with a color camera, a stereo microphone, a loudspeaker, and a tilt sensor. In order to reduce the computational load, we propose that the walls of the field and the player itself are painted in different colors so that it is easy to identify the position of essential objects
