Team Description Paper

UTUtd-3D 2006 is based on experience of UTUtd-3D 2005 (1). Last year the team worked on high level skills especially on position- ing, ball handling, decision making(2). As the server status for the 2006 competition is cleared recently, this paper mostly describes changes since 2005 in the architecture of the UTUtd-3d team and the planned changes for 2006 competition. Most important changes are: 1. Improvement of high level skills (shoot, pass, dribble). 2. Implementation of a new sys- tem to determine team's strategy and players positioning according to the way opponents play. We also describe our efiort on a controller for the legged agents.
