ISI Synthetic
ISI Synthetic (ISIS) is ISI's entry
in the Simulator League of the RoboCup,
The Robot World Cup Initiative. ISIS is also a vehicle for our research
in multi-agent systems.
RoboCup'97: ISIS was the bronze medal winner in the simulation leaguge
of RoboCup'97 held in conjunction with the International Joint conferences
on Artificial Intelligence, 1997, Japan. ISIS was also the top US team
at RoboCup'97. The simulation league was especially challenging, since
it involved a competition among 32 international teams.
RoboCup'98: ISIS came in fourth out of 37 teams that participated in
the simulation leaguge of RoboCup'98 held in conjunction with the AgentsWorld'98
Paris.

Using an explicit model of teamwork in RoboCup'97 RoboCup'97: Proceedings

One of the key innovations in ISIS is its use of an explicit model of teamwork,
called STEAM. Such explicit models have the advantage that they provide
flexibility in team behavior -- since they explicitly outline an individual's
commitments and responsibilities as a participant in teamwork. Such models
can also be reused in other domains, e.g., STEAM was originally developed
for teamwork among pilot agents in a synthetic combat simulation environment
for the US military for training and analysis. This model (in the form
of rules) is now reused for teamwork in RoboCup Soccer. These rules are
available here.
Another key idea in ISIS includes its use of machine learning for encoding
difficult individual skills, such as kicking the ball while avoiding opponents.
ISIS code is available here.
We would like to thank the Intel
Corporation for their support of continued research in the RoboCup
domain.
