Co-operation strategies for strengthening civil agents ’ lives in the RoboCup-Rescue simulator scenario

In this paper, we introduce two co-operation strategies for strengthening civil agents’ lives in the RoboCup-Rescue simulator scenario: one for making communication efficient and the other for co-ordinating ambulance teams. For the latter, the co-ordination strategy, we use a Multiple Criteria Decision Making (MCDM) technique. This technique has been chosen due to the nature of the RoboCup-Rescue simulation environment, in which rescue decisions must be taken based on several alternatives with different constraints. In this dynamic and changeable environment, it is very important to have a good combination of all the possible variables found in order to reach the proposed goal rescuing victims alive. The co-operation strategies have been implemented in the Girona Eagles team.
