Simulated RoboCup Soccer (2004)
The UT Austin Villa Robot Soccer Team has been very active in international RoboCup competitions for the past several years, and have therefore built up a great deal of expertise in the domain of Robot Soccer and the subtask of keepaway. Reinforcement Learning often plays an important role in the success of these soccer players. Links to several demo pages associated with Robot Soccer are provided below.
