Philosopher is a robot soccer team from the University of Tartu, Estonia, and so far, has been the only RoboCup participant from Estonia. The Team was established in January 2013, and successfully managed to prepare the materials, robots and strategies, as well as gain funding, within a comparatively-short time-interval, leading it to participate in the RoboCup Standard Platform League Championshi
p 2014. We are also planning to participate in the 2015 Competitions, and have already been qualified to do so. In the 2014 Competitions, a couple of accredited companies sponsored our participation, and due to the Team's satisfactory performance, in the upcoming competitions, not only they are supporting us again, but also some other companies have shown interest in sponsoring us heretofore. Our team consists of six student members, namely, Siim Schults, Viljard Puusepp, Rainer Keerdo, Anastasia Bolotnikova, Andres Traumann and Morteza Daneshmand, and two supervisors, namely, Gholamreza Anbarjafari and Alvo Aabloo. All the team members are doing, or already have done, their studies on subjects related to robotics. Besides, at the moment, they are constantly working on tasks contributing to the enhancement of their own part, which fall, mainly, in the areas of self-localization system, automatization of color calibration process, robot motion melioration and game strategy.
