Team Chaos 2006

"Team Chaos" is a multi-university team which has been competing in the 4-legged robot league of RoboCup since 1999. This paper shortly describes the Team Chaos entry for RoboCup 2006. The most distinctive points of our team are: (i) a general, principled architecture for autonomous systems, (ii) hierarchical fuzzy behaviors for fast incremental development of robust behaviors, (iii) fuzzy landmark-based localization for efficient, fault-tolerant self-localization. The main improvements for 2006 are: (i) improved vision-based perception, (ii) natural landmarks (corners on field) for self-localization, and (iii) improved cooperative perception and behavior
