TEAM ROPE (RObot for Personal Entertainment)
RoboCup is one of the most established and far reaching robotics games held annually around the world. It is an arena for all kinds of university-developed and industry-developed robots to showcase and compete with each other. RoboCup has come to its 9th year in 2005 and this time it will be held in Osaka, Japan, from July 13th to July 17th.
The aim of the project is building a series of humanoid robots for soccer playing in the humanoid league - the most challenging and eye catching league in RoboCup.
ROPE II
ROPE II, our debut in RoboCup event in 2004 Portugal, ranked second in the H80 category with a 5th overall ranking, among 13 participating humanoid robots.

ROPE III
The design of ROPE III (right) is immediately based on its predecessor ROPE II. Several Mechanical design modifications have been introduced for improving the robot performance. PC -104 remains as the brain for ROPE III.

ROPE IV
ROPE IV (left) has a total of 22 DOFs, 6 DOFs being on each leg, 4 DOFs on each arm and 2 DOFs on the waist. Each DOF is actuated with RC digital servo motors. Microcontroller board has replaced the PC-104 to make the whole weight of the robot less.

Team ROPE is a group of people who believes that robots, especially humanoid robots, will cohabit with human being in the future. And what we do now is to make it happen earlier. We are actively recruiting talented and motivated people all the time, to share the vision with us. We would be able to offer UROP, RBVIP, FYP and postgraduate projects for you.
