Abstract/Summary

Soccer robots are becoming popular throughout the world. The tournaments provide the grounds for developments in artificial intelligence. Each participant must develop his own strategy when competing in the tournament. Thus, the development of the strategies and methods becomes widespread and varied. At the same time, the capabilities of the robots are also developed.

The objective of this thesis is to design an autonomous minirobot that has the capability of playing soccer. This minirobot will be a prototype for future developments of soccer playing micro-robots in the Philippines. A RF communication module that will enable the minirobot to receive signals from the host computer must be implemented. A motor driver will be used to control the motion of the minirobot. The application of microcontroller technology must also be implemented to control the motions of the robot. Engineering design principles must be applied into the design of the mechanical components of the robot in order to improve performance.

The robot is designed to move on the prescribed field for soccer robot tournaments. New defense logarithms will be designed to improve the existing soccer strategy.
