Unifying strategies of obstacle avoidance and shooting for soccer robot systems

Abstract

This paper presents unifying strategies of obstacle avoidance and shooting for robot soccer systems. Using a fuzzy-net based avoidance algorithm and limit-cycle based shooting algorithm, we propose two unifying schemes based on both parallel and series combination of them to achieve smooth transition between obstacle avoidance and shooting mode. Two proposed schemes are compared for several scenarios in experiments to evaluate the performance of them.
