Simulation for the RoboCup Logistics League with Real-World Environment Agency and Multi-level Abstraction
نویسندگان
چکیده
RoboCup is particularly well-known for its soccer leagues, but there are an increasing number of application leagues. The newest one is the Logistics League where groups of robots take on the task of in-factory production logistics. It has two unique aspects: a game environment which itself acts as an agent and a focus on planning and scheduling in robotics. We propose a simulation based on Gazebo that takes these into account. It uses the exact same referee box to simulate the environment reactions similar to the real game and it supports multiple levels of abstraction that allow to focus on the planning with a high level of abstraction, or to run the full system on simulated sensor data on a lower level for rapid integration testing. We envision that this simulation could be a basis for a simulation sub-league for the LLSF to attract a wider range of participants and ease entering the robot competition.

The new RoboCup Logistics League sponsored by Festo offers a competition within a simulated industrial environment. In order to solve the logistical tasks, all three Robotinos not only have to operate autonomously in a flexible, effective and robust way on their own, they should also collaborate efficiently in order to maximize the overall outcome. In this paper, the first world champion of the...
متن کاملCoordination Approach to Find Best Defense Decision with Multiple Possibilities among Robocup Soccer Simulation Team
In 2D Soccer Simulation league, agents will decide based on information and data in their model. Effective decisions need to have world model information without any noise and missing data; however, there are few solutions to omit noise in world model data; so we should find efficient ways to reduce the effect of noise when making decisions. In this article we evaluate some simple solutions whe...
متن کاملSimSpark – Concepts and Application in the RoboCup 3D Soccer Simulation League
Simulators have a long tradition within RoboCup. In the Soccer Simulation League, one of the earliest leagues within RoboCup, traditionally single-purpose robot simulators with high levels of abstraction have been used. These systems proved valuable as tools for multiagent research, but were difficult to extend. Furthermore, there were concerns that research results would not be easily transfer...
متن کاملA Simulation Environment for Middle-Size Robots with Multi-level Abstraction
Larger fields in the Middle-size league as well as the effort to build mixed teams from different universities require a simulation environment which is capable to physically correctly simulate the robots and the environment. A standardized simulation environment has not yet been proposed for this league. In this paper we present our simulation environment, which is based on the Gazebo system. ...
متن کاملRealistic Simulation of Laser Range Finder Behavior in a Smoky Environment
The Urban Search and Rescue Simulation used for RoboCup lacks realistic response of laser range finders on smoke. In this paper, the behavior of a Hokuyo and Sick laser range finder in a smoky environment is studied. The behavior of the lasers is among others a function of the visibility level, and in this article this function is quantified into an explicit model. This model is implemented in ...
