Abstract

This project aims to study the models of artificial neural networks in order to build a committee of neural networks for control of a soccer team of robots. It is expected that a committee of neural networks have a much better performance than a single neural network. The model of neural network to be used will be the type multilayer perceptron with the Back-propagation algorithm, because it is considered as a universal approacher.
