FC Portugal 2007 – 2 D Simulation Team Description Paper

FC Portugal 2007 project intends to continue the research performed during the development of previous FC Portugal RoboCup simulation league teams. These teams have one of the best sets of results in previous competitions. FC Portugal won the simulation league in RoboCup2000 Melbourne, got third in RoboCup2001 – Seattle, won two European championships (Amsterdam2000 and Paderborn2001). FC Portugal team also won the 2002 Coach Simulation in Fukuoka and achieved two second place awards in this competition (Padova, 2003 and Lisbon, 2004). In other leagues the team is presently European champion of RoboCup in two leagues: Rescue Simulation and 3D Simulation and is World Champion of RoboCup 3D Simulation league (scoring 77 goals without conceding any). This paper describes some of the innovations of our team for the last simulation league competitions, relating them with previous work developed by simulated
