Abstract
This paper describes the Agilo RoboCuppers — the RoboCup team of the image understanding group (FG BV) at the Technische Universität München. With a team of five Pioneer 1 robots, equipped with a CCD camera and single board computer each and coordinated by a master PC outside the field we participated in the medium size RoboCup league in Paris 1998. We use a multi-agent based approach to represent different robots and to encapsulate concurrent tasks within the robots. A fast feature extraction based on the image processing library HALCON provides the necessary data for the onboard scene interpretation. These features as well as the odometric data are checked on the master PC with regard to consistency and plausibility. The results are distributed to all robots as base for their local planning modules and also used by a coordinating global planning module.
The name is derived from the Agilolfinger, which were the first Bavarian ruling dynasty in the 8th century, with Tassilo as its most famous representative.
