The base station application of the CAMBADA robotic soccer team

Abstract

The base station is the software application responsible to provide automatic processing of soccer game refereeing events and to allow high level monitoring and control of the robots internal states. This paper presents the base station developed for CAMBADA, the robotic soccer team of the University of Aveiro. It describes the main requirements and specifications of the base station and presents the architecture of the application, giving special attention to the description of the main modules and to the connection between them. It also describes the multi-window system, among other issues, namely the classes implemented and the mechanism of passing information among the several modules.
