Abstract
Many AI professionals consider RoboCup small robots 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 agents and their intercommunication. Multi-Agent Systems have been used by computer scientists and software engineers in several disciplines such as Internet and Industry [16]. 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]. This paper describes a distributed approach in implementing the Multi-Agent system architecture of a robotic soccer team, Temasek POlytechnic Team (TPOT).
