Alan Mackworth and his group proposed and built the world’s first soccer-playing
robots, which led to the development of robot soccer as the premier global
platform for multi-agent robotic research through the International
RoboCup Foundation, where he has been honoured as "The
Founding Father". The idea was first mentioned in a paper
titled On Seeing
Robots, presented at VI-92, 1992 and later published in a book Computer
Vision: System, Theory, and Applications, World Scientific Press,
Singapore, 1993. Robot soccer as a challenge problem has great scientific
significance. It has now become a standard test environment for cross-testing
research ideas: a forum for evolving theories of multi-agent systems.
Through regular international RoboCup tournaments many research teams
of students and professors compete and cooperate in the development, testing
and evolution of new theories and new algorithms. |
