| Abstract: |
The major purpose of our research is to study cooperative
planning for multi-agent system in time-critical environment. The RoboCup
simulator league is the most interesting target for our research. Each agent
of the team 11monkeys is realized as an autonomous agent that has two sets
of rules, namely state dependent rules and position specified rules. We
call the former dynamic role and the latter static role, since it is assigned
to agents before the game begins and remains as they are until drastic formation
change occurs. On the other hand, state dependent rules are dynamically
changing according to the state of the agent, for example it has a ball
or is near the ball. When the agent changes its dynamic role, robustness
is the most important issue. Since our agents are autonomous, dynamic role
change are triggered by their own recognition of the current state. For
cooperative planning, we propose three layers planning, strategy, group,
and individual. |
