Abstract
During RoboCup'99 in Stockholm, we arranged the first RoboCup Jr.
Here, the aim was to allow children hands-on experience with robotics,
and for this purpose we set up a LEGO MINDSTORMS robot soccer game for
children. We developed the user-guided behaviour-based approach in order
to allow non-expert users to develop their own robots in an easy and
fast manner. Indeed, using this approach, children of the age 7-14 were
able to develop their own LEGO MINDSTORMS robot soccer players to play
in nice and friendly tournaments with 60-90 minutes of development time!
In a user-guided behavior-based system, it is the system developer who
takes care of the difficult robotic problems, while the end-user is
working on a higher abstraction level by making the coordination of
primitive behaviors. Further, for the LEGO MINDSTORMS RoboCup Jr. game,
we developed a field and a smart ball which allowed easy navigation and
detection
