Design and Implementation of Robotic Soccer Behaviors: a User Viewpoint

Proc. of Third International ICSC Symposia on Intelligent Industrial Automation (IIA'99) and Soft Computing (SOCO'99)

The architectures for controlling mobile robots are often devised by decomposing the control problem into small task-oriented modules, called behaviors. The accomplishment of more complex tasks is achieved by an appropriate combination of such behaviors. One possible implementation for behaviors is by means of fuzzy rules for defining the control procedures. In this case, the interaction among behaviors is characterized by a mechanism that determines a combination of the desired actions. In this paper, we describe our experience in designing behaviors for an actual mobile robot playing soccer, and a discussion, from a user/programmer perspective, on their implementation by means of fuzzy behaviors and of a robot programming language.
