CMU Hammerheads Team Description

In this paper the hardware and software design of the CMU Hammerhead middle-size robot team are presented. The team consists of 4 fully autonomous robots with wireless communication and color vision. TeamBots, a Java-based software package, forms the robots' software architecture, while Clay, a TeamBots package for creating motor-schema based control systems, is used for developing behaviors. TeamBots provides a rich multi-robot simulation environment that allows concurrent development of behaviors in simulation and their re nement on the mobile robots.
