Praktikum
Autonome Agenten
RoboCup &
RoboCup-Rescue
WS
2003/2004
AG
Künstliche Intelligenz
Description
This Praktikum provides to motivated students the opportunity of
applying their knowledge to the development of autonmous agents in the
context of RoboCup. This may include the areas
of artificial intelligence, image/sensor processing, real time systems
and control engineering. For a more detailed description of RoboCup
have
a look at www.robocup.org.
Our current activities are the soccer playing robots (CS Freiburg),
the RoboCupRescue Simulation team ResQ-Freiburg and a robot capable of
playing the game of table soccer (KIRO). For a detailed description of
the
soccer robots have a look at www.cs-freiburg.de,
for
the rescue agents at www.informatik.uni-freiburg.de/~rescue
and for the
table soccer robot at www.informatik.uni-freiburg.de/~kiro/english/index.htm.
Students participating in this Praktikum will have to choose a
project from one of the three areas. In this context, they will
learn
how robots percept their environment, decide which actions to execute
and how to execute them reliably. They will have to give short
presentations during the praktikum in order to exchange their
experiences with other students in the group. Finally we expect them to
hand in a short report of their project. Some of the proposed projects
are listed below.
Requirements
Since all of our software is written in C/C++ or Java, programming
experience
is absolutely necessary. Additionally, it would be useful if
students
are familiar with techniques from the area of artificial intelligence,
image
processing or control engineering.
We are particularly interested in students that intend to continue
their work within our group. They might also get the opportunity to
attend to
international competitions. To reach this goal, however, we expect
highly
motivated students.
