Opponent Modeling is one of the most attractive and practical arenas in Multi Agent System (MAS) for predicting and identifying the future behaviors of opponent. This paper introduces a novel approach using rule based expert system towards opponent modeling in RoboCup Soccer Coach Simulation. In this scene, an autonomous coach agent is able to identify the patterns of the opponent by analyzing ...

The present study examined the impact of reputation information on athletes’ behavioral responses to coaches within a naturalistic, field-based setting. Using a between-group design, male soccer players (n = 35) were assigned to one of three experimental conditions (i.e., experienced reputation, inexperienced reputation, no reputation) prior to taking part in a coaching session delivered by an ...

Although worked-out examples play a key role in cognitive skill acquisition, research demonstrates that students have various levels of meta-cognitive abilities for using examples effectively. The Example Analogy (EA)-Coach is an Intelligent Tutoring System that provides adaptive support to foster meta-cognitive behaviors relevant to a specific type of example-based learning known as analogical...

San Francisco, Nov. 3.—Coach Jack Meagher will lead his Rice Owls into San Francisco this morning and will be greeted at the station by a delegation of notables, headed by Mayor Angelo Rossi. The Owl squad will be given a royal welcome and the entire squad will be escorted to the city hall. The Rice team will work out this afternoon at Kezar Stadium to get out the road kinks and will be in fine...

The Virtual Coach is a web-centric virtual environment that creates temporally dynamic clinical exercises known as situational simulations, with the intention of exposing participants to rapidly unfolding events and the pressure of decision-making. This paper deals with the databases, which store all the data relevant to situational simulations executed by the Virtual Coach. It defines the natu...

The purpose of this study was to establish how coaches and biomechanists assess sprint running technique to increase understanding of current coaching and biomechanical practice leading to an identification of ways to improve coach-practitioner relationships. Australian sprint coaches (n=56) and international sport biomechanists (n=12) completed an online survey that asked questions relating to...

The rising number of the elderly incurs growing concern about healthcare, and in particular rehabilitation healthcare. Assistive technology and assistive robotics in particular may help to improve this process. We develop a robot coach capable of demonstrating rehabilitation exercises to patients, watch a patient carry out the exercises and give him feedback so as to improve his performance and...
