Abstract: A software control system for an autonomous mobile robot must be capable of performing many complex processing tasks in real time. Such tasks may include localising within the environment, recognising objects or safely avoiding static and dynamic obstacles. The focus for our team this year was to build a solid structural base, to be used in future RoboCup competitions. This led us to concentrate on development of effective reusable components such as a robust vision system. The RoboMutts team was a joint venture between the University of Melbourne and RMIT University. This paper focuses on the parts of the system developed at the University of Melbourne.
