Overview

Problem solving in complex domains often involves multiple agents, dynamic environments, and the need for learning from feedback and previous experience. Robotic soccer is an example of such complex tasks for which multiple agents need to collaborate in an adversarial environment to achieve specific objectives. Robotic soccer offers a challenging research domain to investigate a large spectrum of issues of relevance to the development of complete autonomous agents.
