The robots Bruno and Jan are based on the equipment of the
HR18 humanoid robot motion platform
developed by the Hajime Research Institute in Osaka/Japan with onboard computing and vision.
They are in use since 12/2005 at the Darmstadt Dribblers' lab
and are continuously improved in cooperation with Hajime Sakamoto.
In this period the initial design of the robots was improved in several steps.
To reduce the robots' weight, 3 servos were removed for the 2006 competitions.
In 2007 the computational power of the robots was improved greatly by replacing the initial PDA computer with an embedded PC104 board.
During their participation at RoboCup worldchampionships the robots scored 56 goals (27 in 2006, 29 in 2007).
One of the robots was the first robot to score a goal using a back heel kick during a competition (Penalty-Kick competition, June 14 2006, video available as wmv and
mpg).
The robots have been used during the 2008 competitions, too. To fulfill the new rules, the chest cameras were removed, though. Since 2008 Linux is used as operating system - as on the new robots of type DD2008.
