Skuba

The RoboCup@Home league aims to develop service and assistive robot technology with
high relevance for future personal domestic applications.
We are interested in RoboCup@Home league. Now, we are trying to develop the @home robot
for Thailand competition.

This is our @HOME ROBOT.
and Here

World RoboCup 2011 in Turkey, we were a World Champion.
We won 5:1 Immortals from Iran University of Sciense and Technology, Iran.
And we won two Technical Challenges.

Skuba won 9:1 MRL from Mechatronics Research Laboratory, IRAN in final game.
Clip Video Skuba VS MRL is HERE.

We won 6:1 in the final game with CMDragons from Carnegie Mellon University, USA.

Final Game and Highlights Video Posted !

Update: Goals compilation video added.

I've tried to modify some of the ssl-vision code to make it compilable on Windows.
It is updated to revision 188 of the original source code (1 Apr 2010).
This source code package is tested with Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 and Qt 2009.03.
The archive includes some additional libraries : Eigen,protobuf and a ported version of dirent.h and dc1394.
Google protocol buffer library is compiled to MSVC2008 static library (.lib).
For the dc1394 library, I downloaded the original source code from Sourceforge and compiled to a MSVC2008 static library.

Unfortunately, the dc1394 interface for Firewire camera is not currently supported on Windows.
Hence, this ssl-vision cannot capture from Firewire camera, only the Read from files and Generator are supported.

It would be great if anyone adds the Firewire camera interface to this software.
I recommend using CMU 1394 Digital Camera Driver for non-proprietary driver.

Also, I changed the priority of the two capture threads to "Low".
Setting it to "Normal" or "Highest" will freeze the GUI when running those two threads simultaneously. (don't know why :-/ )

DOWNLOAD HERE

This software requires Qt library.
For the easiest way, download the Visual Studio 2008 version of Qt. e.g. 'Qt libraries 4.6.2 for Windows (VS 2008, 194 MB)'.
After installation make sure that the bin folder (that contains qmake.exe) of Qt is added to PATH environment variable.
For other versions of Qt, you need to compile the entire library, this takes couples of hours.

Building the code :
1.Extract all files from the archive
2.Run make_vcproj.bat to generate Microsoft Visual Studio project file
3.The solution file (.sln) is created, but you have to drag into MSVC program for the first time (it can't be double-clicked)
4.Select the desired configuration (Debug/Release) and run the Build command
5.To test the vision, run vision.bat

PS. the command-line client and the graphical client are included

Final Game : 6-1 with Fantasia (Dalian University of Technology)

Also, The first place in Technical Challenges

A 2-minutes mixed team game between Skuba and B-Smart.

You can download it at "Download" page.

We performed very well in the final game with RoboDragons from Japan. Most of the goals are scored with sophisticated passing and shooting tactics with the use of dribbler and chip kicker. This year, we got only two shots: one from our teammate, Plasma-Z, and the another from RoboDragons. The final score was 11:1.

Highlights video available at download section.

We also won the other 2 awards:
1. 1st Place for Technical Challenges
(Thanks to B-Smart team for making our 2-hours coded Mixed Team Challenge worked successfully !)
2. Best Extended Team Description Paper (ETDP)

Thanks to our teacher “Panya Lao-anantana” from KUCITY.COM for tons of photos and videos.
There’s a discussion forum HERE, a community forum for our university.
You can download lots of photos and videos of RoboCup 2009 from there. (Unfortunately, it’s in Thai)

We are collecting some questions about our hardware and robot often asked by other teams in RoboCup 2009.
Those will be posted in Our Robot & Equipments section soon !
