Abstract

Autonomous robot soccer system consists of a multi-agent system that need to cooperate in unknown, dynamic, and competitive environment. Thus, it is a crucial issue how to realize effective and real time communications among soccer robots. There are three problems need to solve about the communication, they are dialog management, communication language, and communication protocol. Thereinto, communication language is a intermedium to transport information and exchange knowledge among agents. In this paper, we introduce the communication mechanism of autonomous robot soccer system, and its practical and reliable communication language based on KQML (Knowledge Query and Manipulation Language), which is designed for cooperative problem solving and knowledge sharing of the multi-robot system. It is shown that the communication mechanism is effective, efficient robust.
