Team description: Building teams using roles, responsibilities, and strategies

Abstract

The Royal Melbourne Knights are designed to interact as a team of soccer playing agents. This paper introduces a framework for modelling agents using the concepts of roles, responsibilities and strate- gies in its control of the agent's motivation, attention and behaviour, respectively. Through the use of strategies; an agent may form teams that coordinate their actions. The high performance team of agents de- signed for the Royal Melbourne Knights will compete at the real-world soccer simulation tournament, RoboCup'97.
