Robocup infinity and beyond...
Mr. Wasif Shams will discuss the vision of Robocup and outline the difficulties he and his team had to face during the preparation for the competition. The presentation will cover three major concerns of robotic soccer. The first will consider the mechanical structure of the robots, so that the robots can efficiently move around and tackle opposing robots. The second will discuss the soccer field including lightening conditions and different magnetic field characteristics. Last we’ll consider the different methods used in Machine Vision and identify which are best suited for robotic soccer teams.

Biography: Mr. Wasif Shams is the Chair, School of Electronics at ITT Technical Institute, Greenfield Campus. Prior to ITT, he has more than six years of experience as an Embedded System Engineer and more than five years of experience in education as head of a Robotics Lab. As an Embedded System Engineer he used C/C++ and VHDL to provide solutions on AVR and FPGA based technologies to Prime Engineering’s clients. During his MSc in Robotics studies Mr. Shams participated in “Soccer playing robot vision system” project with Swedish Mid-size league team called “Team Aros”. His responsibility was to enable the robots to identify their position on the field and then plan ways to secure the ball in the goal. He participated in the Phillips Robocup competition in Holland with “Team Aros”.
