2019 – TDP – Fractals2019 – RoboCupSoccer – Simulation – 2D

Fractals2019 is a new experimental entry in the RoboCup Soccer 2D Simulation League, based on Gliders2d, which extended agent2d code base. In developing Fractals we use elements of evolutionary computation, within the framework of Guided Self-Organisation. The evolution is guided by generic universal objective functions that relate information-processing and thermodynamic properties of collective action (i.e., collective distributed computation). Tactical tasks provide constraints on control parameters, varying which is the subject of the evolutionary process. Examples include evolving dash power rates, levels of pressing and risktaking, as well as action evaluation weights, to optimise thermodynamic efficiency of collective behaviours, in addition to standard competition performance measures.
