Abstract

Constraint Nets provide a semantic model for modeling hybrid dynamic systems. Controllers are embedded constraint solvers that solve constraints in real-time. A controller for our new softbot soccer team, UBC Dynamo98, has been modeled in Constraint Nets, and implemented in Java, using the Java Beans architecture. An evolutionary algorithm is designed and implemented to adjust the weights of contraints in the controller. The paper demonstrates that the formal Constraint Net approach is a practical tool for designing and implementing controllers for robots in multi-agent real-time environments.
