RoboCup Coordination

by
Paul Larpenteur

How can multiple Sony Aibo dogs effectively pass a ball to each other without it being intercepted by an enemy dog? I will first show the approach taken for a "Keep Away" situation presented to my team in the RoboCup Winter 2004 Capstone class. Then I will go further by showing how this can be scaled up to multiple friendly and multiple enemy dogs by the use of a learning algorithm to determine the best weights. An "in-game" situation will also be considered, in which the dogs must keep the ball away from the enemy dogs while going up-field towards the goal. This research focuses on both analysis in terms of algorithms and application in terms of RoboCup.
