Abstract
The SocRob project was born as a challenge for multidisciplinary research on broad and generic approaches for the design of cooperating society of robots, involving Control, Robotics and Artificial Intelligence researchers. A case study on Robotic Soccer played by a team of 3 robots is currently underway. The team competed at the World Cup of Robotic Soccer, RoboCup98, held in Paris, France, and qualified for the quarter-finals of the midlle-size league. In this paper we present the team description, the implemented behaviors and the results obtained.
This work has been supported by grants from the following Portuguese institutions: Fundação Calouste Gulbenkian, Fundação para a Ciência e a Tecnologia, PRAXIS XXI/BM/12937/97.
