The World Cup of Robotic Suzhou, China is a major international challenges
facing the group of students from theRobotics Lab of the Faculty of Physical Sciences and Mathematics from the University of Chile, led by academic Javier Ruiz del Solar.
Since 2003, teams that Robotic Soccer School have participated without
interruption in the tournament world of discipline, which represent a major
challenge to the undergraduate and graduate students who have been part of the
experience.
Have qualified to participate in the RoboCup world's 24 best teams in their
respective categories. In previous versions, teams of faculty have been among
the places 10th and 16th, but the next goal is to be among the first eight
positions in three categories. In the midst of an office full of folders, files
and books for research, Javier Ruiz del Solar, in an interview with Universia,
explains the scope of the trip, the unlimited contributions that can ensure the
development of a robot that is capable of analyzing their environment take
decisions, last year, among other advances.
"We participated in the
Robocup in 2003 and beyond the event of China's world, we have a research
project in mobile robotics, and the idea of these meetings is to validate the
results obtained, ie competencies that are instrumental used by researchers,
because it is the only way to compare the solutions developed by each team, not
that I am presenting an idea and the vein, rather prove it somehow, "says Ruiz
del Solar.
The professor added that the robotic soccer events are a kind of benchmark
(comparison of performance) with researchers around the world and basically has
been developed as a community and a sharing of information, therefore, during
the competition a conference where participants will set out the ideas. For
example, if a team that plays very well, others are implementing this idea for
the next world, and this makes the level go up every year. "
Having been elected, why the discipline of football, the expert explained that
"taken as a model because this sport is hard, it causes concern, because if the
robots to play golf would be far less popular, but also looked for a job as a
football robotic, which is a team effort, and if we manage to achieve a robot
means you can play football well perceive the environment, controlling your body
with great accuracy, has the ability to locate in an environment not closed,
share information with their 'fellow 'in a timely fashion. Therefore, if a robot
comes to playing football, it means that you can walk, run, jump, climb up and
down stairs. "
When asked how their feedback to those around them, the academic says that "in
general throughout the world called the attention, but I'm not sure I understand
it, believe it is a game which is like a hobby at a gathering of people who are
expert in video games. There are those who think they are remotely controlled,
but the truth is that the robots are autonomous. So far no one has been
indifferent. "
Overall objective to 2050: Beating a team of human
Javier Ruiz del Solar said that at the international level aimed at computers
that are part of the Robocup, which in the long run is that a team of humanoid
is able to defeat a group of humans. An ambitious goal, but not shy at all the
enthusiasm of the academics. "Even if it does not reach that goal, and the
attempt to achieve it, will contribute to unimagined scientific research."
