Survey about Fire in the Competition Scenarios
by Farshid Faraji 31 Dec '21

31 Dec '21

Dear RoboCup Rescue Teams and developers Please take one minute to complete this survey, which will help with our future planning. This survey aims to gather Rescue Agent Simulation teams and developers feedback concerning the use of fires in the scenarios for the RoboCup Rescue Simulation League (RSL) competitions. Extinguishing fire was one of the challenges of the RSL competitions until 2020, but fires had been removed from the scenarios of the 2021 competitions. The committee members would like to hear what you think about scenarios with NO FIRE based on your experience in the 2021 competitions. To participate in this survey, please fill-up the form on this link: https://cloud.robocup.org/apps/forms/rrik64zkQw6oiLST Best Regards, Farshid Faraji On behalf of RoboCup Rescue Simulation Committee members

Dear James Here are some sites that may be helpful in developing RRS.

Understanding RCRS software package
by James KDH 07 Nov '21

07 Nov '21

Hello, I am completely new to this RCRS league and I only have a basic familiarity with Java. I have read through the documentation given in the website but I have the following questions: According to the documentation ... src/adf/sample/centralized - source codes for central agents. This is the type of agent whose only interaction with the world is through radio communication. There are three types of central agents: Ambulance Centers, Fire Stations and Police Office, and they are represented as buildings in the simulation server. src/adf/sample/extraction - codes of combining actions described in the directory below. src/adf/sample/module - concrete codes of algorithms, e.g., path planning, clustering, target detection, etc. The directory contains two directories: • src/adf/sample/module/algorithm • src/adf/sample/module/complex My main questions are where is the source code for each of the individual Agents implemented? And what does src/adf/sample/extraction is supposed to be specifically? I have looked through a couple of past RCRS participant's source codes but I still couldn't get a good idea. Thanks!
