RoboTeam is an after-school competitive robotics club for grades 4 through 8 at the School at Columbia. Each year, 20-35 students compete in RoboCupJunior competitions at the local, regional and, if we qualify, international level. As part of preparing for the RoboCupJunior Rescue competitions, each student maintained a journal of his or her work and ideas, constructed robots with sensors and created elaborate programs designed to controlthe robots. the students program their small compact robots to search for and rescue ""victims"" and avoid obstacles within a simulated disaster field that has two floors connect by a ramp. As robots successfully accomplish specific tasks within a discrete time frame, the teams are awarded points.

To date, most autonomous micro air vehicles (MAV-s) operate in a controlled environment, where the location of and attitude of the aircraft are measured be dedicated high-power computers with IR tracking capability. If MAV-s are to ever exit the lab and carry out autonomous missions, their flight control systems needs to utilize on-board sensors and high-efficiency attitude determination algorithms. To address this need, we investigate the feasibility of using body schemas to carry out path planning in the vision space of the MAV. Body schemas are a biologically-inspired approach, emulating the plasticity of the animal brains, allowing efficient representation of non-linear mapping between the body configuration space, i.e. its generalized coordinates and the resulting sensory outputs. this paper presents a numerical experiment of generating landing trajectories of a miniature rotor-craft using the notion of body and image schemas. More specifically, we demonstrate how a trajectory planning can be executed in the image space using a pseudo-potential functions and a gradient-based maximum seeking algorithm. It is demonstrated that a neural-gas type neural network, trained through Hebbian-type learning algorithm can learn a mapping between the rotor-craft position/attitude and the output of its vision sensors. Numerical simulations of the landing performance of a physical model is also presented, the resulting trajectory tracking errors are less than 8 %.

In this paper, Robotic application using a microcontroller ATmega2560 based kit mounted with low cost IR sensors for mapping and localization of unknown area is accurately carried out by using Kalman Filtering to determine or measure different parameters. this paper highlights the comparision between the accuracies of output data obtained from IR sensor using Average Technique as well as Kalman Filter. Various cases depending on robot movement in forward and backward direction and wheel rotation in clockwise and anticlockwise direction, are considered in this paper to calculate position encoder resolution. Also probabilistic estimation of actual position of robot is carried out using different techniques i.e Probabiity Density Function (P.D.F) for verifying the uncertainity in its position and found to be very close to actual position. Simultaneous Localization And Mapping (SLAM) is the only way a robot can navigate through an unknown environment withthe use of minimum sensors and get reliable output of the same in identifying an unknown area. Using this method the robot not only create a map more accurate than GPS maps but also localize itself to determine its next position according to the map created more accurately at lower cost. Primarily used for creating a map of an unknown location, this concept can also be used to perform Qualitative Analysis of a given area by equipping the robot with appropriate sensors.

Psychological studies have often suggested that internal models of the body and its structure are used to process sensory inputs such as proprioception from muscles and joints. Within robotics, there is often a need to have an internal representation of the body, integrating the multi-modal and multi-dimensional spaces in which it operates. Here we propose a body model in the form of a series of distributed spatial maps, that have not been purpose designed but have emerged through our experiments on developmental stages using a minimalist content-neutral approach. the result is an integrated series of 2D maps storing correlations and contingencies across modalities, which has some resonances withthe structures used in the brain for sensorimotor coordination.
