Abstract

Today, robots are used in many ways, from lawn mowing to auto manufacturing. Robots can also be used in many places such as performing socially undesirable, hazardous or even "impossible" tasks --- the search and rescue in a collapse or fire building, trash collection, toxic waste clean-up, desert and space exploration, and more. In recent years, robot soccer game creates many research issues such as multi-agent systems, multi-robot cooperative teams, autonomous navigation, sensor fusion, fast pattern recognition and real time decision. Soon after, the idea of robotic soccer game gains worldwide support. The Robot World Cup Initiative (RoboCup), proposes a new standard problem for AI and robotics research. The first world RoboCup soccer championship took place in 1997 during the International Joint Conference on Artificial Intelligence in Nagoya, Japan. Since soccer game is a teamwork game, multiple soccer robots should implement some action with collaboration for offensive and defensive. In this project, we want to investigate four research issues: message exchange, behavior model, multi-agent cooperation, and real-time decision-making strategy. The system developed by us is based on a hierarchical structure which is similar to seven layer protocols in computer networks. This project starts with the message exchange by each duty cycle defined by RoboCup. And then we will design some skills on an individual agent such as kick the ball to goal, dribble the ball toward goal, and pass the ball to a teammate. Finally, we have to design an efficient decision-making strategy to decide which action should be performed or which tactics should be made. The final objective of this project is to develop a robot soccer team and can be evaluated by joining a robot soccer game.
