2021 – TDP – KgpKubs – RoboCupSoccer – Simulation – 3D

Kgpkubs is a team from the Indian Institute of Technology, Kharagpur, India. It aims to make autonomous soccer playing robots. For this, the team is cur- rently focusing on the 3D Simulation and Small Size League Event in Robocup. Students from all departments and years are part of this including undergradu- ates and post-graduates. The principal investigator for the project is Prof. A.K. Deb and it is also mentored by Prof. Jayanta Mukhopadhyay , Prof. D.K. Prati- har and Prof. Sudeshna Sarkar. The research group is supported by the Centre for Excellence in Robotics, Indian Institue of Technology, Kharagpur. We have previously participated in FIRA RoboWorld Cup in the years 2013-2015 in the Mirosot League. In 2015, we secured Bronze position in the same. In 2016, 2017 and 2018 we participated in RoboCup (3D Simulation League). We also took part in the Robocup Asia Pacific 2017 3D Simulation League. This work is organized as follows. First, we give an overview of our base architecture and strategy in Section 2. Section 3 describes about attacker and goalkeeper tactics. Section 4 describes about the Positioning and 5 about the Role Assignment Algorithm. Section 6 describes the approach we use for deciding and executing the pass. Section 7 describes the approach and results we got after training of our walk and kick. Section 8 describes the approach applied to learn low-level skills like walking and dribbling. Section 9 describes our ongoing work. Section 10 describes the various learning methods that we plan to use to optimize low level skills.
