Designing a Dummy Goalie for Testing in RCJ Soccer

Designing a Dummy Goalie for Testing in RCJ Soccer

One of the important features of testing offence programs in the RoboCup Soccer Simulation Demonstration Competition is having an opposing team that can defend. This makes it essential to have a goalie or defender for offensive players to test against. The TFA Junior...

Converting Webots Image to BMP Image

Converting Webots Image to BMP Image

Image processing is an important part of the Webots simulation world.  During the RoboCup Demonstration Rescue Competition, our team designed a Victim Detection Algorithm using OpenCV. In the past few months, Victor from our team has worked on image processing using...

New Soccer Simulation Competition!

New Soccer Simulation Competition!

The TFA Junior Robotics Team is excited to announce our latest competition. We will be competing in RoboCup Soccer Simulation Demonstration Competition 2021. This competition will be held on Webots, just like the RoboCup Rescue Simulation Demonstration Competition....

Contour Tracing Algorithm through C and BMP files

Contour Tracing Algorithm through C and BMP files

During RoboCup Rescue Line and Maze, our team had done Computer Vision contour tracing using OpenCV's findContours function. In the past month, Victor has focused on writing image processing code in C to make contour tracing algorithm capable of being used on embedded...

Basic BMP Image Processing

Basic BMP Image Processing

This past month, Victor has worked on basic image processing techniques using the C programming language. This is because our team wanted to see if we could potentially implement image processing ideas into an embedded system without needing OpenCV or Raspberry Pi....

Accurate Decimal/Big Number Subtraction using C

Accurate Decimal/Big Number Subtraction using C

After solving decimal/big number addition, our team moved on to try to accurately subtract decimals without any errors. Our first thoughts were to simply change the addition sign to a subtraction sign. However, this would create a wrong result if the correct result is...
