A multi-robot control algorithm using Petri-Net is proposed for 5vs5 robot soccer. The dynamic environment of robot soccer is modeled by defining the place and transition of each robot and converting it into Petri-Net diagram. Once all the places and transitions of robots are represented by the Petri-Net model, their actions can be chosen according to the roles of robots and position of the ball in soccer game, e.g., offensive, defensive and goalie robot. The proposed modeling method is implemented for soccer robot system. The efficiency and applicability of the proposed multiple-robot control algorithm using Petri-Net are demonstrated through 5vs5 Middle League SimuroSot soccer game.
