Abstract. This paper describes an interactive experimental environment for autonomous soccer robots, which is a soccer field augmented by utilizing camera input and projector output. This environment, in a sense, plays an intermediate role between simulated environments and real environments. We can simulate some parts of real environments, e.g., real objects such as robots or a ball, and reflect simulated data into the real environments, e.g., to visualize the positions on the field, so as to create a situation that allows easy debugging of robot programs. As an application in the augmented environment, we address the learning of goalie strategies on real quadruped robots in penalty kicks. Our robots learn and acquire sophisticated strategies in a fully simulated environment, and then they autonomously adapt to real environments in the augmented environment.

“…Specifically, an architecture based on mixed reality for robot soccer applications is presented in da Silva Guerra et al (2006), da Silva Guerra et al (2007b and extended for research and education purposes in da Silva Guerra et al (2007a). In this architecture, a large number of robots are commanded by a centralized controller with individual scripts for each robot.…”

“…Different from these works, our proposed mixed reality system can be used for navigation at completely or semi-unknown environment. Furthermore, the setup presented by some cited papers considers a LCD display (Arvin et al 2015;da Silva Guerra et al 2006, 2007bSantos et al 2017) that limits the environment's area, while our setup lays on the USB camera limitation.…”

This paper presents a robotic navigation system that uses mixed reality concepts to develop sensing and communication virtual devices, based on the visual localization of the robot in the environment. The main objective of the navigation system is to provide conditions for the use of very simple robots with severe limitations on the mentioned peripheral devices for simulation, analysis and test of multi-robot applications. In an experiment with real robots, each one receives its virtual navigation skills in an independent way from the tool that emulates the function of such peripherals. Thus, the behavior of a group of robots, independently commanded, is implemented in the virtual environment and accomplished in the real world. An experiment composed by real multiple Sphero robots executing an exploratory task within an unknown dynamic environment is carried out to validate the proposed navigation system. The use of mixed reality concepts allows an easy implementation of cooperation mechanisms based on indirect communication skill and fuzzy controllers for the robots' movement. The results confirm the feasibility of the proposed autonomous navigation system.
