....such that several trade offs for speed versus torque are possible. For RoboCup 98, the VUB AI lab team focused on the development of a suited hardware architecture, which allows to implement a wide range of different robots. The basic features of this so called RoboCube system are described in [BKW98] For RoboCup 99, the system is further improved and extended. In addition to improvements on the electronics and computational side, the mechanical approach for our robots has completely changed. Instead of using mechanical toy kits like LEGO TM as we did in the previous competition, we ....

Behavior-based Robotics, its scope and its prospects - Birk (1998)   (1 citation)  Self-citation (Birk)   (Correct)

....and electromechanical components, programming, and environment are discussed. Here, we have a short look on the implications for the control hardware. In the VUB AI lab, we have quite some tradition of developing special hardware for robot control. Based on previous work [17, 18] the RoboCube [4] and the VisionCube [5] are the most recent approaches. They both reflect the main ideas of behavior oriented control. They are small and compact with low powerconsumption facilitating to be used in mobile and stand alone devices. They both are layed out to deal with various sensors and motors as ....

VisionCube - an intelligent autonomous vision device - Birk, Kenn, Walle   Self-citation (Birk Walle)   (Correct)

....to convert data intensive visual input to low dimensional information which is fed into other devices or directly used to control various actuators. VisionCube evolved out of pure robot control devices develloped at the VUB AI lab: the SMBII [Ver96, Ver93] and its enhanced successor the RoboCube [BW98] In doing so, the philosophy of how to program these devices has been maintained. Following the ideas from behavior oriented Artificial Intelligence [Ste94, SB93] control is established via a network of processes running in parallel without a global supervision. Figure 2.1 shows two examples ....

....The SMBII is based on a commercial board manufactured by Vesta technology providing the computational core with a Motorola MC68332, 256K RAM, and 128K EPROM. Stacked on top of the Vesta core, a second board provides the hardware for sensor , motor , and communication interfaces. RoboCube [BW98] is an enhanced successor of the SMBII. In RoboCube the commercial computational core is replaced by an own design, also based on the MC68332, which saves significant costs. Furthermore, memory is increased to 2Mbyte and the architecture is simplified. In addition, the physical shape of RoboCube ....
