Abstract
This paper describes an autonomous modular mobile robot platform. The robot is able to play robot soccer in the AMiREsot league. The construction of the robot is based on a chassis with two wheels and two motors. A base board that is attached to the chassis realizes the motor control and generates low-level behaviour like obstacle avoidance and driving through labyrinth. To successfully play robot soccer the robot has to be able to detect the goals, the ball, the opponents, the borders of the pitch and it has to calculate suitable actions a part of a soccer strategy. The microcontroller on the base board is not powerful enough to handle all these requirements; therefore an extension board with an integrated mobile computer has been developed.
