A Fuzzy Two-Phase Decision Making Approach for Simulated Soccer Agent

Soccer simulation is an effort to motivate researchers to perform artificial and robotic intelligence research; and at the same time put into practice and evaluate the results. The research includes design and implementation of robotic soccer simulation algorithms in a multi-agent environment. In this paper, we propose a fuzzy two-phase approach, based on our previous crisp two-phase mechanism, for the soccer player agent´s action selection. To do so, a fuzzy decision making approach was implemented which tells an agent what action to take, in a given situation. In comparison with similar implementations, our approach is faster and simpler to follow. This method is integrated into our Nexus soccer simulation team of Ferdowsi University. The outcome showed the superiority of the fuzzy two-phase selection method compared to the non-fuzzy one
