Abstract:

We present the most recent version of our RoboCube system, a special robot controller hand-tailored for players in the small robots league. The RoboCube is conceptualized to implement players with as many on-board features as possible in an extremely flexible way. For this purpose, the RoboCube provides significant computation power and memory as well as a multitude of I/O interfaces within the space constraints. As it facilitates the use of many sensors and effectors, including their on-board processing, the RoboCube allows us to explore a large number of different robots and team set-ups.
