CM-Pack'01: Fast Legged Robot Walking, Robust Localization, and Team Behaviors

CM-Pack'01 came in second place at RoboCup-2001 in the Sony Legged League. This is our fourth year competiting in this league. We used a simplified architecture this year. Our vision, localization, and behaviors ran synchronously with the camera input while our motions remained an asynchronous process. We focused on reducing latency and increasing timeliness and completeness of environment modelling for this year. We used more structured software engineering this year than in previous years and found this very useful[4].
