“…This design allows the same logic to be applied regardless of the underlying system being used. The advantages of this architecture are discussed further in [1]. Furthermore, for better modularity, the logic is organized into a number of modules that each take care of specific functionality.…”

“…The overall framework for these processing steps is outlined in detail along with high level descriptions of the color table analysis system in our previous papers [2,1]. We therefore focus on new implementation techniques that are found in this code release, the first of which is the arrangement of object detection methods into segmentation and detector modules.…”

“…Through these years, we have built a substantial code infrastructure for robot soccer that served as the base for our championship in 2012 [2,1]. This paper describes the partial release of that code base, including its software architecture, stream-lined vision processing, localization, localization simulator, kick engine, and debug tool.…”

Abstract. In 2012, UT Austin Villa claimed the Standard Platform League championships at both the US Open and the 2012 RoboCup competition held in Mexico City. This paper describes the code release associated with the team and discusses the key contributions of the release. This release will enable teams entering the Standard Platform League and researchers using the Naos to have a solid foundation from which to start their work as well as providing useful modules to existing researchers and RoboCup teams. We expect it to be of particular interest because it includes the architecture, logic modules, and debugging tools that led to the team's success in 2012. This architecture is designed to be flexible and robust while enabling easy testing and debugging of code. The vision code was designed for easy use in creating color tables and debugging problems. A custom localization simulator that is included permits fast testing of full team scenarios. Also included is the kick engine which runs through a number of static joint poses and adapts them to the current location of the ball. This code release will provide a solid foundation for new RoboCup teams and for researchers that use the Naos.

RoboGrams is a lightweight and efficient message passing architecture that we designed for the RoboCup domain and that has been successfully used by the Northern Bites SPL team. This unique architecture provides a framework for separating code into strongly decoupled modules, which are combined into configurable dataflow graphs. We present several different architecture types and preexisting message passing implementations, but among all of these, we contend that Robo-Grams' features make it particularly well suited for use in RoboCup. As a success story, we describe the Northern Bites' use of RoboGrams and the benefits it has provided to a single team, but we also suggest that it could help SPL teams collaborate in the future.
