CAMBADA'2006: Team Description Paper

The CAMBADA middle-size robotic soccer team is described in this paper for the purpose of qualification to RoboCup'2006. This team was designed and developed by the authors, from scratch, in the last three years. The players, completely built in-house, incorporate several innovations at the hardware level, particularly the sensing and computational subsystems. At the software level, cooperative sensing uses a real-time database implemented over a real-time Linux kernel. Previous experience of the team in the simulation league has been highly relevant. The paper focuses on recent advances on vision, localization and monitoring/debugging software as well as a new ultrasound-based localization system.
