Hierarchical reactive control for a team of humanoid soccer robots

Humanoid soccer serves as benchmark problem for artificial intelligence research and robotics. Every year, more teams are competing, e.g., in the RoboCup Humanoid league. As the robots manage the basic skills of walking, kicking, and getting up better, teams can focus on soccer skills and team coordination. The complexity of soccer behaviors and team play calls for structured behavior engineering.
