This paper describes the robot soccer initiative of the Singapore Polytechnic; designed to participate in the Robocup-99 held in conjunction with IJCAI in Stockholm; Sweden. The system consists of four medium sized autonomous robots; each carrying its own perception system and on-board processor. The perception system includes an on-board vision system and infrared transceivers to collect environmental information such as the presence of a wall; obstacle (robot) or ball. The micro-controller used is the Intel 80196KC. The environmental information collected has to be processed to enable a quick decision on the required action of the robot. The reaction of the robot may be to avoid an obstacle; approach a ball; block the ball (in the case of the goal keeper); and to pass; intercept; dribble or shoot the ball.
