DatesJanuary — December 2006 Principal InvestigatorKristina Haller ProblemThe overarching goal of RoboCup is to build a team of soccer playing robots that will be able to beat the Champion WorldCup team by the year 2050. This goal pushes for the development of robust robotic systems with highly developed artificial intelligence. After every competiton teams must release information about their systems, allowing other teams to learn from the best, forcing creativity and rapid development of technology. GoalOur team's goal is to not only do well as the best rookie team nationally, but also to create a lasting foundation for a team that will compete even after its original members have graduated. In terms of an actual physical project, our goals are to build a robust system, a foundational system which will allow us to make improvements in future years as we gain experience from competition. OverviewWe are currently in the process of building a team of eight robots to compete in the U.S. Open and the International RoboCup Competition in Germany this summer. The MIT Competitive Robotics and the Harvard College Engineering Society are collaborating and combining resources to make this happen. During this process, students get hands on experience outside of the classroom. While we have physical robots that will always be around, we feel that providing engineering experience to incoming freshman, undergrads,and grad students that have an interest in robotics is important. Building a team gives highly skilled students the resources, experience, and passion for developing important technologies for the future.
