LEMAS – Learning in MAS in the RoboCup Sony Legged League (FCT - POSI/ROBO/43910/2002)

With LEMAS project we aim at developing a fully-functional "soccer" playing team of legged robots (AIBO "dogs" from Sony). Research will be focused on four main aspects: perception, autonomous decision-making, learning to improve robot behavior and team coordination.

The first aspect implies developing a robust vision system including capabilities for colour image segmentation and object recognition. This sub-system will generate high-level descriptions of the image contents to be used on self-localization, action execution and cooperative playing.

It is also our intention to apply different kinds of reinforcement learning algorithms having in mind improving low-level skills of the legged robots.

Main Objectives:

	Image Processing and Analysis: Automatic Calibration
	Self-Localization and Robot Tracking
	Learning of Individual Skills
	Coordination: SBSP, DPRE, Tactics
	Intelligent Communication and Perception
	Participation in RoboCup 2003, 2004 and 2005

Parteners: LIACC-FEUP / ISR-Porto
