Abstract

The goal of creating an integrated cognitive robot is still only a tantalizing dream. Current artificial intelligence and robotics research is highly divergent with little or no commonality among specialized subfields. New rich task domains are needed to pose the right challenges to extant theories and promote convergence. We propose soccerplaying as such a task since it requires situated robotics, perception, real-time decision making, planning, plan recognition, learning and multirobot coordination and control. The technology to perform real-time vision and build autonomous robots is available; the Dynamite testbed has been built to perform experiments with multiple robots. A soccer tournament has been carried out using the testbed to evaluate aspects of the proposed reactive deliberation robot architecture. The results raise new issues and problems for research on robotic agents operating in dynamic environments.
