An overview of the RoboCup physical agent challenge: phase I

This paper presents an overview of three technical challenges as the RoboCup Physical Agent Challenge Phase 1: (1) moving the ball to the specified area (shooting, passing, and dribbling) with no stationary or moving obstacles, (2) catching the ball from an opponent or a common side player (receiving, goal-keeping, and intercepting), and (3) passing the ball between two players. The first two are concerned with single agent skills while the third one is related to a simple cooperative behavior. Motivation for these challenges and evaluation methodology are given
