Abstract
Robot soccer was introduced with the purpose to develop intelligent cooperative multi-robot (agents) systems (MAS). From the scientific point of view a soccer robot is an intelligent, autonomous agent, carrying out tasks together with other agents in a cooperative, coordinated and communicative way. Robot soccer is a good test bed for the development of MAS for current and future industrial applications. The robots in a team have a common goal – to kick the ball in the opponent goal and to avoid goals against the own team. The cooperation and coordination of actions by means of communication are necessary. In this contribution the development of three generations of mini robots for robot soccer, in the FIRA categories Miro- and Narosot, are described. Finally “Roby Space” as a “spin-off” of robot soccer is presented.
