Team Description Paper 2010

Abstract

The Austrian Kangaroos are a young team, which participated in RoboCup for the rst time in 2009. Hence, the team’s primary concerns were good enough running software for its soccer robots. However, this report summarizes the work done by the team in 2009, and also provides a brief outlook on things planed for the coming RoboCup season. Contributions to RoboCup are divided into three main categories: research, competition, and community. The Austrian Kangaroos contribute in all of them. The team consists of three institutes of the two biggest technical universities in Vienna. The covered research topics in the elds of robotics aim at the elds of computer vision, computational intelligence, but also at social and management aspects in mid to large scale project teams.
