AI Goalkeeper Robot Software Development https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n6yo1QSYZak*

Job ID: 39305092

Budget: $250 – $750 USD

Software Objective:
Develop an integrated system to control, train, test, and monitor a goalkeeper robot in simulated or real robotic soccer matches. The software should handle computer vision, trajectory prediction, motor control, and performance analysis.

?‍? Target Audience:
Robotics engineers, researchers, developers, and competition teams (e.g., RoboCup).

? Main Modules:
? Computer Vision
Capture images from USB or CSI cameras.

Ball detection using OpenCV (color, shape, or AI-based).

Ball tracking and trajectory prediction.

Field recognition (lines, goals).

? AI and Defense Logic
Prediction algorithms (e.g., Kalman filter).

Decision-making module (what move to make).

Machine learning-based training (optional).

Simulation of offensive scenarios.

? Control and Command
Interface with microcontrollers (via ROS or serial).

Send speed/position commands (PID control).

Support for DC motors/servos or omni wheels.

Real-time response with low latency.

? Monitoring and Testing
Data logging (ball position, reaction time, success/failures).

Graphical performance visualization.

Playback of previous plays for analysis.

Automated test simulation.

? Virtual Simulator (Optional)
Integration with Gazebo/Webots for hardware-free testing.

Sandbox mode to test AI strategies.

?️ Technical Requirements:
Primary Language: Python

Suggested Libraries: OpenCV, NumPy, Matplotlib, scikit-learn, ROS (Robot Operating System)

Environment: ROS Noetic + Ubuntu 20.04 or later

Compatible Hardware: Raspberry Pi, Jetson Nano, Arduino, ESP32, etc.

GUI (optional): PyQt5 or Tkinter

? Additional (Future) Features:
Multiplayer mode (with other robots).

Web interface for remote control.

Integration with extra sensors (LIDAR, ultrasonic).

Over-the-air (OTA) firmware updates.

? Mockups and Layouts:
Main interface: Camera feed + AI status + manual control panel.

Testing screen: Logs, performance charts, play replay.
