Future Work

Suggestions/questions about the soccer server manual.

The below is not in any particular order

• When is the momentum for the ball updated when you do a kick? Before or after the acceleration of the ball is calculated?
• Change the formula for momentum with correct index so that you know which value is used. (theta(t+1) = theta(t) + moment; or something)
• What is the formula for the actual angle when turning?
• If the formula in the manual is correct, then the example is wrong! It should then be +/- 30 degrees.
• What is the max and min of the direction of a catch and turn neck?
• What is the position and direction of the goalie after a catch?
• Shouldn't the maximum ball speed be 2.7m/s on page 8? (now 27m/s)
• How is the speed truncated when above its maximum value?
• (Speed is a vector and the speed returned by sense_body is the length of that vector, or?)
• A more detailed description of the movement (that is how dash and turn works) is needed.
• Maybe add more info about the existing code-archievs.
• Maybe more about the sserver script, since there has been some questions about that on the mailinglist.
• Add kick_power_rate and dash_power_rate in the formulas on page 15 (3.1.3)
• Maybe add a diagram of how the player can move in a few cycles if he's standing still or if he's moving at max speed. Interesting when you create algorithms for e.g. dribbling.
• Include a picture of how the sensordata depends on the distance (like the one found in Peter Stones thesis p36).
• Error in formulas 3.7 and 3.8 ? (found by the mailinglist)
• Is the stamina decreased by double the power if you do a negative dash? Then the second question on page 36 is incorrect.
• Maybe take away the question about Ogalets and Sekines agents. p 36
• A better picture about the different levels of stamina.
• Is the "feature" about dash(111.111) still present? In that case why?
