Abstract:

In this work, reinforcement learning algorithms are studied with the help of potential field methods, using robosoccer simulators as test beds. Reinforcement Learning (RL) is a framework for general problem solving where an agent can learn through experience. The soccer game is selected as the problem domain a way of experimenting multi-agent team behaviors because of its popularity and complexity.
