NimbRo KidSize 2007 Team Description

This document describes the RoboCup Humanoid League team NimbRo KidSize of Albert-Ludwigs-University Freiburg, Germany, which is qualified for the competition to be held in Atlanta in July 2007. Our team uses self-constructed robots for playing soccer. The paper de- scribes the mechanical and electrical design of the robots. It also covers the software used for perception, behavior control, communication, and simulation.
