Temasek Robocup team ( TPots ) started with the organization of the 1998 Pacific Rim Series Robocup competition in Singapore. That was our first participation to robotic soccer game competition. Since then we have been working on the development of a control architecture distributed among the physical robots and the workstation. This paper describes the overall design with an emphasis on the on board robot agents and off board agents. Robocup small league competition is considered by many AI professionals as an ideal platform for testing distributed artificial intelligence techniques. Among these techniques are multiagent systems; since its debut in the late 80s it has been used in several multi robot systems. Ranging from cellular robot systems ( Fukuda et al ) [1] to a team of trash-collecting robots ( Arkin et al ) [2]. In this paper we will present a distributed approach in implementing the multiagents architecture of Temasek Robocup team.
