RoboDragons 2015 Extended Team Description

This paper describes a system configuration of RoboDrag- ons 2015, Aichi Prefectural university's participating team for RoboCup small size league (SSL). On the robot hardware, we basically use the robots developed in 2012. We changed the radio system from 2.4 GHz wireless LAN to 5 GHz and adjusted the dribble device and chip kick bar to kick the strong ball and fly higher, respectively. On the soccer program, the base program is the one developed in CMRoboDragons joint team in 2004 and 2005. After the end of the joint team, we are continuously improving the program by introducing our research results. We describe two algorithms in this paper. One is a dynamic ball kick- ing algorithm which is often used in the attacking strategy. Another is a circle-and-pass motion algorithm which is used at throw-in. The effec- tiveness of these hardware and software improvements is experimentally shown.
