Towards a Distributed Multi-Agent System for a Robotic Soccer Team
نویسنده
چکیده
Many AI professionals consider RoboCup small league competition as an ideal platform for testing distributed artificial intelligence techniques. Among these techniques are multi-agent systems (MAS), which advocate collective intelligence by focusing on autonomy of the agents and their intercommunication. Multi-agent systems have been used in several disciplines such as Industry [16], Internet [17], and software engineering in general. For the robotics community Multi-agent Systems was a paradigm shift from the classical centralized approach in building intelligent machines. By the late 80's MAS were used in several multi robot systems ranging from cellular robots (Fukuda et al) [1] to a team of trash-collecting robots (Arkin et al) [2]. In this paper we will present a distributed approach in implementing the multi-agent system architecture of a robotic soccer team, Temasek Polytechnic Team (TPOTs).
