This paper describes the design and implementation status of the Vision, Localisation and Control systems of the ISePorto robotic football team for participation in Robocup 2003 Middle Size League. The objectives guiding the project were the applications and research in sensor fusion, hybrid control and coordination systems. The system has also an educational support role. A special attention is made to the custom design to allow the execution of complex manoeuvres and team coordinated behaviours. The robot has different pass, shot, and manoeuvre capabilities providing high level tactical and strategic planing and coordination.

ISePorto Robotic Soccer Team for Robocup 2003

The development of embedded technology has rapidly captured the attention of the sensor manufactures around the world, various sensing devices are being developed with embedded controller which simplify the concept of old style integration into the data communication between controllers. The main controller sends command and retrieves data/status from the slave controllers and acts accordingly, as the result, the software development cycle has decreased drastically. The paper is an example of an effort to implement distributed control concept into a small-sized RoboCup which in turn simplify the design and allow the designer to easily add more features to the robot.
