Development of Prometeu autonomous robot for ball handling in Eurobot

Abstract

Eurobot is a robotics European challenge for the young generation (university and technical schools) which is held annually, with a different challenge in every edition, and participate around about 200 teams every year. Each game comprises two teams competing against each other and does not allow draws. This work describes the design, development and building up of an autonomous mobile robot to fulfill this challenge. This paper includes the challenge description, robot design, sensors used, the strategy used and some conclusion. The team that built this robot and participated on Eurobot is made up of 4 industrial electronic undergraduate students from University of Minho.
