Lawrence Tech. University AIBO Robot Research
~ By Chien-Tai Lo, Jason
AIBO is an entertainment robot developed by Sony corporation. The word ‘AIBO’ is an
acronym of ‘Artificial Intelligence roBOt,’ and it has a same pronunciation with a Japanese
word ‘相棒,’ meaning ‘close friends.’ As its name suggests, AIBO is developed as
an robot with artificial intelligence, and its purpose if to be a good friend of human beings, just like real pets.

RoboCup
(Originally called as Robot World Cup Initiative) is an international research
and education initiative.
It is an attempt to foster AI and intelligent robotics research by providing a standard problem where wide range of technologies can be integrated and examined, as well as being used for integrated project-oriented education.
For this purpose, RoboCup chose to use soccer game as a primary domain, and organizes RoboCup:(The Robot World Cup Soccer Games and Conferences). In order for a robot team to actually perform a soccer game, various technologies must be incorporated including: design principles of autonomous agents, multi-agent collaboration, strategy acquisition, real-time reasoning, robotics, and sensor-fusion. RoboCup is a task for a team of multiple fast-moving robots under a dynamic environment. RoboCup also offers a software platform for research on the software aspects of RoboCup.
While soccer game is used as a standard problem where broad-range of efforts will be concentrated and integrated, competition is only a part of RoboCup activity.
Current activities of the RoboCup consists of:
Nevertheless, RoboCup International Competitions and Conferences is the central pillar of our activity, where researchers can get together and evaluate research progress.
