issues that involves very large numbers of heterogeneous agents in the hostile environment. The intention of the RoboCup Rescue project is to promote research and development in this socially significant domain at various levels, involving multiagent teamwork coordination, physical agents for search and rescue, information infrastructures, personal digital assistants, a standard simulator and d...

The Team of Bielefeld (ToBI) has been founded in 2009. The RoboCup activities are embedded in a long-term research history towards human-robot interaction with laypersons in regular home environments. The RoboCup@Home competition is an important benchmark and milestone for the overall research goal. For RoboCup 2013, the team concentrates on an easy to use programming environment, semantically ...

The Nao Devils Dortmund have their roots in the teams Microsoft Hellhounds (and therefore part of the German Team), DoH!Bots and BreDoBrothers. The team had a number of successes, such as winning the RoboCup World Championship twice with the GermanTeam (2004 and 2005), winning the RoboCup German Open 2005, the Dutch Open and US Open 2006 with the Microsoft Hellhounds, and winning the Four-Legge...

The Dutch AIBO Team is a multi-institute team which competes in the 4-legged robot league of RoboCup since 2004. This team description paper briefly outlines the approach taken for the Passing and Open Challenge of the RoboCup 2006.

full integration of AI and robotics research. Following the success of the first RoboCup in 1997 at Nagoya (Kitano 1998; Noda et al. 1998) and the second RoboCup in Paris in 1998 (Asada et al. 2000; Asada and Kitano 1999), the Third Robot World Cup Soccer Games and Conferences, RoboCup-99, were held in Stockholm from 27 July to 4 August 1999 in conjunction with the Sixteenth International Joint...

In 2008, UT Austin Villa entered a team in the first Nao competition of the Standard Platform League of the RoboCup competition. The team had previous experience in RoboCup in the Aibo leagues. Using this past experience, the team developed an entirely new codebase for the Nao. In 2009, UT Austin combined forces with Texas Tech University, to form TT-UT Austin Villa. Austin Villa won the 2009 U...

Increasingly, multi-agent systems are being designed for a variety of complex, dynamic domains. EEective agent interactions in such domains raise some of the most fundamental research challenges for agent-based systems, in teamwork, multi-agent learning and agent modelling. The RoboCup research initiative, particularly the simulation league, has been proposed to pursue such multi-agent research...
