Abstract

This Project consists in the parallelization of several methods based on potential fields for controlling of robots teams, aiming an application in real time. The application is the soccer game , that provides an dynamical environment requiring the control algorithms be processed in seconds ratios. As smaller is the processing time as faster will be the communication among several modules that constitute the control system and a faster way the commands will be sent to the robots for actuating in a more efficient way in the game. It wil be implemented several techniques of potential fields, that were already implemented in a sequential processing, in a parallel environment, as CUDA. We wish to develop an efficient and competitive controller for multiple robots. (AU)
