Abstract

From the RoboCup goal of having a fully autonomous humanoid soccer team, it is possible to see many applications of the research in the Humanoid Soccer, such as the development of mechanical legs and arms and exoskeletons. The onboard vision algorithms for multi target tracking and the cooperative decision making of some Soccer Leagues can be used in squadrons of autonomous vehicles in a variety of missions. The algorithms for image processing of the Small Size League can be used in aerial or satellite images to track vehicles. The Simulation League allows the development of many intelligent agents applications. The formations and team play positioning of the Simulation League can be used to optimize the positioning of a squadron of autonomous vehicles. The research of Robotic Soccer fosters and strengthens the research in Robotics, allowing and contributing to the development of many powerful applications which can great benefit the mankind.
