Martin Kallnik’s scientific contributions

The GermanTeam is a joint project of several German universities in the Sony Legged Robot League. This report describes the software developed for the RoboCup 2002 in Fukuoka. It presents the software architecture of the system as well as the methods that were developed to tackle the problems of motion, image processing, object recognition, self-localization, and robot behavior. The approaches for both playing robot soccer and mastering the challenges are presented. In addition to the software actually running on the robots, this document will also give an overview of the tools the GermanTeam used to support the development process.

This paper gives a brief overview of the work done in the past year. A detailed description of the entire system used in the competition---including its underlying architecture---can be found at [2]
