AIプログラミング・コースにおけるRoboCupサッカー・シミュレーションの利用

抄録

In this paper we present an AT programming organised around RoboCup: a soccer simulation system. The course participants create a number of software agents that form a team, and participate in a tournament at the end of the course. The use of a challenging and interesting task, and the incentive of having a tournament has made the course quite successful, both in term of enthusiasm of the students and of knowledge acquired. In the paper we describe thestructure of the course, discuss in what respect we think the course has met its aim, and the opinions of the students about the course.
