Abstract

In this paper we discuss improvements in mechanical, electrical and software design, which we did to become RoboCup 2014 world champion. Regarding hardware and control our progress includes first steps towards improved passing accuracy via velocity feedback control on the shooting lever. In terms of intelligent gameplay we have worked on creating possibilities for in-game optimization of strategic decisions. Via qr-code detection we can pass coaching instructions to our robots and with a basic machine learning algorithm success and failure after free-kicks is taken into account. In the final part of this paper we briefly discuss progress we have made in designing a four-wheeled soccer robot with a suspension system.
