Abstract
Strategy evaluation in robot soccer is a very important issue in the field of multi-robot coordinated control system. In our work, the implication of strategy and strategy set in robot soccer game are described firstly, it helps to explain the morphology of strategy set and make clear the four types of strategy subset. By transferring strategy set to a directed graph, we present a directed graph-based approach to evaluate the strategy set in robot soccer game. In this idea, better strategy set would achieve higher probability of goal score, then the probability of goal score is the benchmark of strategy set evaluation. According to the directed graph of strategy set, a group of linear equations can be constructed to compute the probability of goal score. In order to testify our method, two strategy sets are evaluated, and twenty simulation games are played to compare the performance of two strategy sets, the results of twenty games validate our approach.
