Abstract

This paper proposes a new setup for AI and UAV research and development, using the volleyball competition as a framework called VolleyBot. Similar to the way RoboCup is used for ground mobile robotic competition, VolleyBot offers a competitive setup for teams of small and medium sized unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), in particular quadrotors. In VolleyBot, two teams, separated by a net, are trying to score points by grounding a ball in the opposing team's court. Each player consists of a UAV that is equipped with a racket or a bat to handle the ball. Each UAV team member must be capable of intercepting the ball and operate at a high level of coordination and collaboration with other team members. VolleyBot offers a common task for evaluating theories, algorithms, designs, and implementations of multi-UAV systems. The VolleyBot setup is a dynamic challenging competitive environment that advances UAV researchers and users.
