i-cybie
• low cost aibo• what’s aibo?
• 16 engines• 3 in each leg• 3 in head• 1 in tail
• real walker• collision avoidance• orientation detection• future proof
• up to a point
• geesus a demo big man
I-cybie spec
Technicalities
• Vision• detecting the ball• seeing other players• detecting the goal• location on pitch
• Collision avoidance• Computing trajectories
• around moving objects• Beliefs
• Baysian?• What happens when “lifted”?
• Communication and coordination• loop detection
• the corner• time to think v time to act
Also table top• on a table tennis table• play with orange golf ball• overhead camera• both sides share camera imags• team is controlled by a single agent• very fast game
Also 4 legged• sony dog• autonomous agents• can’t kick, lunge instead• communicate via barking• detect position
• design of the pitch helps• primitive vision & triangulation
• can program gait• some trot, some on elbows• speed of movement is an advantage
