In this paper, we propose an adaptive team formation strategy for humanoid robot soccer. The proposed strategy involves distributed cooperative decisions through both communication and observations. Two agent groups, namely defenders and attackers, are formed by a case-based group formation method. Attackers are formed for constructing an attacking formation around the ball and scoring a goal w...

This paper describes robotstadium: an online simulation contest based on the new RoboCup Nao Standard League. The simulation features two teams with four Nao robots each team, a ball and a soccer field corresponding the specifications of the real setup used for the new RoboCup Standard League using the Nao robot. Participation to the contest is free of charge and open to anyone. Competitors can...

Training robot or agent behaviors by example is an attractive alternative to directly coding them. However training complex behaviors can be challenging, particularly when it involves interactive behaviors involving multiple agents. We present a novel hierarchical learning from demonstration system which can be used to train both single-agent and scalable cooperative multiagent behaviors. The m...

In this article, we provide an overview of three humanoid soccer platforms currently in use at RoboCup: 3D simulation, the humanoid Standard Platform League (SPL), and the Webots-based simulator released with the SPL. Although these platforms trace different historical roots, today they share the same robot model, the Aldebaran Nao. Consequently, they face a similar set of challenges, primary a...
