Robot soccer was introduced with the purpose to develop intelligent cooperative multi-robot (agents) systems (MAS). From the scientific point of view a soccer robot is an intelligent, autonomous agent, carrying out tasks together with other agents in a cooperative, coordinated and communicative way. A soccer robot is a mechatronic system and consists of a mechanical part, electronics, power supply, drives including gears and sensors. For playing soccer control, path planning, image processing, strategies, communication and cooperation between the robots is necessary. Robot soccer is a good tool to teach people the complicated technical knowledge in the way of playing.For realizing a robot soccer game a lot of theory is necessary. Therefore it is a very cheap – cost oriented (COA) - testbed for verifying these theories in practice for further industrial applications. In this paper selected – COA - industrial applications directly derived from robot soccer will be described.
