Research on distance-first based role assignment strategy of soccer robot

Abstract

This paper studies a dynamic role assignment strategy in robot soccer game and illustrates the disadvantages of the shortest distance assigning algorithm. Based on that algorithm, the distant role-first assigning algorithm is proposed. The algorithm takes the factors into account, such as the obstacle-avoiding when the players position their places, balance of power consumption of the players and short moving distance. Finally, the simulation experiment is conducted to verify the advantages of the distant role-first assigning algorithm based on typical defense formation and half-encircled formation. The results show that the algorithm we proposed performs well in practical applications. © 2013 Springer-Verlag.
