Micro-Robots Playing Soccer Games: A Real Implementation Based on a Multi-Agent Decision-Making Structure

Abstract

University of Girona & LEA-SICA Multi-Agent decision-making structures are expected to be extensively applied in complex industrial systems. Multi-robotic soccer competitions are a forum where rules and constraints are good to develop for MIROSOT, and test them. This paper describes an implementation of such a robotic team consisting of three micro-robots. It shows an agent-based decision-making method that takes into account an index of difficulty to execute collision-free path obtained by a path-planning method specially devised for this domain. Some real situations are used to explain how robots behave, and which are their movements through the playground. Then, some agents persistence problems are analysed, and simulation results are shown.
