We graphed the robots angle and angular speed with respect to the ground to decide how to determine when the robot is falling (in order to turn off the motors before impact). We ran 2 trials where the robot was purposefully pushed over, and two trials when the robot was walking (as a baseline).
About
Northern Bites is Bowdoin College’s robot team.
We compete in the Standard Platform League of RoboCup where teams consisting of Nao robots each play on a field of 7.4 m x 5.4 m. The robots operate fully autonomously; there is no external control by humans or computers.
We placed 2nd in the SPL in 2009, 3rd in the Aibo league in 2008, and were World Champions in 2007.
