Abstract
The Robot World Cup Initiative (RoboCup) is an international research and education initiative. It was started in order to foster artificial intelligence search. RoboCupRescue´s domain is search and rescue operations in urban disasters. The RoboCup Rescue league consists of two projects: the simulation project and the robotics and infrastructure project. A multi-agent-based approach to disaster simulation provides many research themes and supports rescue operations in real situations. Simulation Project, not only agent implementation, but also the evaluation of the social agents´ performance, the architecture of the distribution system, and the quality of communications, etc. The following features are important in this project to promote the research and provide verification methods.
