About us:
NEXUS is the RoboCup Simulation
team from the Software Simulation and Modeling Laboratory, Computer
Engineering Department, Ferdowsi University of Mashhad, Iran. Established in
2002, NEXUS firstly participated in RoboCup contest in 2003
Padova, Italy in Soccer-2D league. Afterwards, NEXUS
could achieve many high scores and awards in international and national robotic competitions. Nexus members have also made
some constructive contribution to the start of high school students RoboCup teams including source code release, training students
with Linux programming and algorithm design, and organizing some domestic
contests to select some students team for the RoboCup leagues.
What is
RoboCup:
|
RoboCup is an international joint project to promote AI, robotics, and
related field. It is an attempt to foster AI and intelligent robotics
research by providing a standard problem where wide range of technologies can
be integrated and examined. RoboCup chose to use soccer game as a central
topic of research, aiming at innovations to be applied for socially
significant problems and industries. The ultimate goal of the RoboCup project
is by 2050, develop a team of fully autonomous humanoid robots that can win
against the human world champion team in soccer. In order for a robot team to
actually perform a soccer game, various technologies must be incorporated
including: design principles of autonomous agents, multi-agent collaboration,
strategy acquisition, real-time reasoning, robotics, and sensor-fusion. RoboCup is a task for a team of multiple fast-moving robots under a dynamic
environment. RoboCup also offers a software platform for research on the
software aspects of RoboCup. |

About
Simulation:
The
RoboCup simulation is a research and educational tool for multi-agent
systems and artificial intelligence. Soccer simulation enables for two teams of 11 simulated
autonomous robotic players to play soccer (football).
