Abstract :
This Dynamo project overview briefly describes the development of the world´s first autonomous robot soccer players. The accompanying video shows the outcomes of a series of experiments using small scale radio-controlled trucks and cars to play robot soccer. These pioneering experiments in embodied intelligence were successfully carried out over the period 1992-1994 in the Dynamo project at the UBC Laboratory for Computational Intelligence. They served as precursors to the RoboCup robot soccer competitions that started in 1997.
