Springer Soccer Robotics: 11 - Springer Tracts Advanced Robotics

Soccer Robotics: 11 is a comprehensive monograph introducing the integrated field of soccer robotics, where mechatronics, computer science and artificial intelligence converge to create autonomous systems. This volume examines the FIRA framework of soccer robotics, particularly MiroSot, which employs a central overhead camera system to monitor and coordinate gameplay. The book serves as both a theoretical foundation and practical reference for understanding how diverse robotic approaches compete and collaborate across varying competition formats and distributed perception architectures. Ideal for researchers, engineers and students exploring autonomous systems, real-world robotics applications and the intersection of AI with physical robotics competitions.
