RoboCup 2008

RoboCup 2008 Standard Platform League

This was a joint GT/CMU team under advisors Tucker Balch and Manuela Veloso that worked with the humanoid Nao Robot coming in 2nd out of 19 teams. I was in charge of implementing communication and motion planning.

As you can see, we almost scored the first goal by any Nao in RoboCup history! We missed by centimeters!
