A combination of our efforts in interesting applications for the microrobots (robot pac-man), development of infrastructure for the microrobots (a series if games and an educational process for using them with undergraduate students) and our efforts at playing robotic soccer left us in third place in the world in the microrobot league. Thanks to all the students in the lab who did not go to RoboCup, as well as the students who did, and to those who have provided our robocup finding: The Faculty of Science, the Department of Computer Science, and the University of Manitoba.
Newsflash
We came in third in the world in teen-size humanoids at RoboCup-2017, along with our partner, Amirkabir University of Technology, and took third place in the Technical Challenge!
About Us
The Autonomous Agents Laboratory is one of the research laboratories within the Department of Computer Science at the University of Manitoba, and is directed by Dr. John Anderson and Dr. Jacky Baltes. The goal of our work is the improvement of technology surrounding hardware and software agents as well as the development of applications employing these technologies. We are especially interested in cooperation in multi-agent settings, and the infrastructure necessary to support this and other forms of social interaction in intelligent systems.
