Dynamics and Control of Four-Legged Autonomous Robots

Reading Class WS 2004/05

Implementing cooperative behaviour among a group of robots in an uncertain and dynamic environment remains a grand challenge. In this reading class, state of the art algorithms for cooperative behaviour of robots will be explored, analysed and implemented for a group of AIBO robots, building on the software framework of the german AIBO soccer team . We will focus on the analysis of the mathematical and algorithmical background of this framework and in particular on the question to which extent the existing implementation incorporates algorithms for cooperative behaviour that are optimal with respect to suitable cost functions.
