Soccer team based on agent-oriented programming

In this paper the analysis, design and implementation of a soccer team of micro-robots is explained. Besides the technical difficulties to develop these micro-robots, this paper also shows how to develope a multi-agent cooperative system by means of Matlab/Simulink † a widely known Computer Aided Control System Design framework. Agent-Oriented Paradigms formalise interactions between multiple agents in terms of changing their mental states by communication between agents. Their practical implementations are usually conceived by means of Object-Oriented Paradigms. Nevertheless, the implementation of Agent-Oriented Paradigms in Matlab/Simulink is not straightforward. Thus, the obtained real implementation is an integrated system that includes several programming paradigms so as hardware platforms. Finally, the proposal of the integrated framework for the micro-robots soccer team is shown.
