Abstract

This paper focuses on the problem of tracking and predicting thelocation and velocity of a rolling ball in the RoboCup environment,when the ball is pushed consecutively by a middle-sizeomnidirectional robot to follow a given path around obstacles. Arobust algorithm based on the H∞filteris presented to accurately estimate the ball's real-time locationand velocity. The performance of this tracking strategy was alsoevaluated by real-world experiments and comparisons with the Kalmanfilter.
