The RoboCup and the TIGERs Mannheim
The "RoboCup" project has been a long term project of mine. Together with the team TIGERs Mannheim I am developing fully autonomous soccer robots. With these robots we compete in the yearly held RoboCup-competition, which is also known as the robot soccer world championships. As one of the project leaders I am responsible of organizing and managing the team. In this project my technological focus lies within the development of the robots AI.
For a more detailed insight, take a look at one of our Extended Team Description Papers. Below you can see the robots in action:
