The analysis of cooperative strategies based on multi-agent system

Multi-agent system is a major research domain in artificial intelligence. The RoboCup (robot soccer cup) provides an ideal testing platform for MAS. In order to making an appropriate decision in a group of agents, each agent has to take the behavior of the other agents into account. In a dynamic environment, these dependencies may change rapidly as a result of the continuously changing state. First, the characteristics about RoboCup competition and the main research directions in this field was described in this paper. Second, we analyze five outstanding simulator teamspsila cooperative strategies in the RoboCup China Open 2007. The analysis would help us to find the new ideas which are different from the traditional teams and seize the research trend in this field. Finally, the importance of the multi-agent system in the related field was discussed in the last part.
