Robosoccer-RU Open Simulation League: Principles and Algorithms

Abstract

In this paper we outline basic principles and competition rules used in a Computer soccer Simulation contest held in Eastern European countries (Robosoccer-RU League). The programming environment of this tournament ("Virtual Soccer" Software package) is described, as well as base algorithms that are implemented for powering team agents. A comparison is given between the reviewed approach and the one used in the RoboCup Simulation League, and directions for future convergence are drafted.
