We introduce a novel technique for path execution control on a four-wheeled omnidirectional mobile robot which provides a segment-wise near-optimal solution based on LQR. The path is specified by a sequence of target regions that the mobile robot will have to visit in order. Unlike other similar solutions that can be found in the literature, our proposed technique is flexible enough to adjust the optimality index for different strategies such as low power consumption, high speed, high accuracy, and so on. We also show how the dynamic model for this kind of robot can be linearized by a change of variables on the control vector. The application that motivated this work is the RoboCup SmallSize League. However, the ideas presented in this paper can be easily extended to other similar applications. The proposed solution is tested against a benchmark simulation experiment and visualized inside an OpenGL virtual environment.

An LQG control strategy is proposed and tested for a wheeled inverted pendulum robot. We show how a reduced set of sensors, as compared to other solutions that can be found in the literature, can be used to observe all state variables of interest for stabilization. A Kalman-Bucy estimator is used to estimate the unmeasured variables and to filter those that are directly measured. An LQR feedback strategy is then used to stabilize the upright equilibrium state. The resulting LQG controller is tested under simulation and the results are verified on an OpenGL virtual environment developed for this purpose.

We propose a vision based methodology to solve the robot localization problem by estimating the pose of the robot's camera with respect to a model of the environment represented by a small set of landmark features. The methodology proposed constructs a regression model based on the pinhole camera projection model by combining the information of several observed features. In this regression model the unknowns are the X and Y coordinates of the location vector of the robot with respect to the environment, and the depths of each of the observed features. We use a RoboCup Humanoid KidSize field as a test bed for experimental validation of this methodology.

Most computer vision tasks are strongly sensitive to illumination changes. This is the case of RoboCup competitions, being color dependent tasks, they require a robust color-based segmentation method of the image for object recognition. It is difficult to achieve a constant illumination in a work environment that is subject to day light changes. This is why camera parameters calibration such as exposure time must be robust enough to reduce the impact in the output images. A result comparison on the segmentation of images is made in three different color spaces, RGB, HSV, and YCrCb. We researched their connection with changes in lighting condition and select one of them that have less error for those environments. We introduce a fuzzy calibration method of the camera exposure time parameter, by histograms correlation. The calibrations results give an approximate value of the correct parameter to be modified in the camera in order to avoid affecting the thresholds of segmentation in the color recognition task.
