[robocup-legged] A Standard Robot Platform for Robot Soccer

[Javier Ruiz-del-Solar]

Dear Mr. Yamasaki:

Thanks a lot for the information. Your platform seems to be very  
interesting. Our team is analyzing its main features.

I have a rapid question. Do you think it will be possible to have a  
much more powerful CPU? ... Considering all kind of processing that  
such a robot should perform, we believe that something like a 1GHz RISC  
processor is desired. Is it possible for you? ...

Thanks a lot for your answer.

>  [Communication] serial interface (625kbps)
> * Sensor
>  15 potentiometers on each actuators
>  4 Touch sensors on each foot tip
>  Battery voltage reference (use 1 ADC port on a control board)
>  Gyros (option)
>  Accelerometers (option)
> * Control board
>  [CPU] ARM920-T core processor, 200MHz
>  [OS] customized Linux (Kernel 2.6 series)
>  [LAN] 10Base-T/100Base-TX  (wire)

>  [Peripheral] 24chPWM(50Hz), 8ch ADC(10bit), 2ch RS232C serial,
>               1ch TTL serial
> * Color detect board
>  [Camera] CMOS sensor (640x480pixel)
>  [Function] 6 colors detect
>            (calcurate center gravity and size of each colors)
>             image data(320 x 240 with digit data)
>  [Frame rate] max 30fps
