Abstract

This paper describes the concept and the implementation of Team Assistant 2006 commentary system for 3d soccer simulation. The idea is to provide a tool that is able to take simulator data as input and generate appropriate, expressive, spoken commentary in real time. the publicity that the RoboCup events get from the media provides an ideal opportunity to show the state of art of these systems during RoboCup World Cup. Soccer simulation commentary system is a suitable test bed for exploring real time systems. The rapidly changing simulation environment requires that the system generates real time comments based on the information received from the Soccer Server. This commentator together with other TeamAssistsant 2006 presentation and analysis tools won the second award in RoboCup 2006 3D Development competition for making a significant and innovative contribution to RoboCup 3D Soccer-related research.
