Design of agent development framework for robocuprescue simulation

Abstract

The RoboCup Rescue Simulation project is one of the responses to recent large-scale natural disasters. In particular, the project provides a platform for studying disaster-relief agents and simulations. The aim of the project is to contribute to soci by making our research findings available. Some of the agents contain excellent algorithms, and so it should be possible to share them among developers. However, this is hindered by the fact that the program structure of the agents is different for each team. Therefore, in this paper, we design and implement an agent-development framework that unifies the structure within the project to facilitate such technical exchange.
