Personal research and developmentBy the year 2050, develop a team of fully
autonomous humanoid robots that can win against the human world soccer champion team.

Artificial Intelligence
For the computer buffs
Pentium 233MHz, 32M RAM, 40M Disk on chip
Hard disk & floppy drive removed
QNX real-time operating system.
ObjectiveObjective
To be able to make the robot “see” the ball and be able to move towards it.
This years workThis years work
Revamp design computers– Hard disk errors– Speed– Reaching the end of there reliable lifespan
Problems– Configuring QNX networks– Transfer code from old machines
This years work (cont)This years work (cont)
Understand previous years contributions– AI (Artificial intelligence)– FPS (Field Positioning System)– MCS (Motion Control System)– MPM (Message Passing Module)– Sensory system– Mechanical system
This years work (cont)This years work (cont)
Convert motion code from windows to QNX.
Problems I am anticipating– Windows is not a RTOS– QNX has advanced IPC techniques
This years work (cont)This years work (cont)
Integrate new motion with previous modules
Test and debug
Further developmentFurther development
Make robot hit the ballFine tune the robot to kick goalMake robot work as team memberEnhance motion
– 400mm/sec max speed– 2500mm/sec to be competitive
