Modeling for Robotic Soccer Simulation Team Based on UML

Multi-agent system (MAS) is one branch of distributed artificial intelligence (DAI). A multi-agent system is comprised of several intelligent agents working together toward some goal or the completion of some task. Because of fusing the coordination-cooperation of multi-agent, Machine Learning and Intelligent Control, the Robocup (The Robot World Cup) is a good platform to research the decision-making and learning of multi-agent. Nowadays, according to different design ideas, domestic and foreign scholars design various robotic soccer simulation teams, Ti-Ji robotic soccer simulation team (from Guangdong University of Technology, China) was born in 2006. In the design process, designers make large-scale use of Object-Oriented thinking from Software engineering perspective. In this article, author gives a deep analysis about the process of modeling for Ti-Ji by using of UML (Unified Modeling Language). In the first part, UML and Robocup are briefly introduced. And in the second part, author makes particular analysis and design of the modeling process for Ti-Ji by Rational Rose, which is a visualization modeling tool based on UML.
