2022 – TDP – AIT-Rescue – RoboCupRescue – Simulation – Agent

We modeled the RoboCupRescue Simulation as a distributed constraint optimization problem and studied communication volume reduction in the Binary Max-Sum ADVP algorithm. In our experiments, we reduced the communication volume by approximately 97% and confirmed the effectiveness of our approach. However, we cannot implement our ideas on our agents owing to communication limitations. We therefore improved our agents using voice communication. This improvement enables agents to propagate information about civilians to each other and to communicate important information in a timely manner through radio communications. As a result, our agents perform better than they did in 2021.
