Abstract
In order for multiple robots to accomplish a required task together, they need to communicate information, organize themselves and cooperate. To this end, appropriate models of environment and tasks are essential. However, it is often difficult to prepare a complete system for application in order to prove the feasibility of newly developed technology because the targeted application is too complicated. The robotic football game offers a simple multi-agent environment for which it is not impossible to develop a complete set of models while there is infinite possibilities to introduce sophisticated models and methods. The paper discusses software design of football playing robots, focusing on environment and task modeling which enables communication and cooperation among the robots.
