Soccer
Workshop and Championship 2001
March 17-21, 2001
American University in Dubai, U.A.E
In Conjunction with the
International NAISO Congress on
INFORMATION SCIENCE INNOVATIONS
Robotics competitions have
become popular and attract people from all walks of life through out the world
irrespective of their ages. Robot soccer makes heavy demands in all the
key areas of robot technology, mechanics, sensors, communication, and
intelligence. The hope of course, is that by discovering how to get a robot to
move with agility, see with acuity, and think perceptively in the limited
context of a soccer game, it will be possible to use the same techniques to
build robots to carry out other more useful tasks.
Invited Nations:
Australia, Austria, Germany,
Korea, Philippines, Poland, P.R. China, Singapore, Taiwan and United Kingdom.
Due to some unforeseen circumstances, the Australian and the Chinese teams could not take part in the
