Fuzzy modelling of mobile autonomous soccer-playing robots - An educational approach with LEGO Mindstorms robots

摘要

Soccer-playing robots are being used in education to foster understanding and interest in artificial intelligence, multimodal systems, engineering and science in order to solve complex problems through active learning comprehensive knowledge undergoing real-world applications. In 1997 the RoboCup Initiative started a broad international program of research and education, that has the aim to promote artificial intelligence and robot research by providing problems like soccer-playing robots or rescuing robots to be solved by integration of different technologies and collaboration of various resources. As the LEGO Mindstorms robotic construction kits are convenient in education, they are often used for RoboCup Junior competitions. To represent how fuzzy logic can be used in education, an example for moving a soccer-playing mobile autonomous robot based on LEGO Mindstorms is described.
