6 Getting-Started-Optimisation

This chapter will walk you through how to get started with optimising skill parameters within the RoboCup domain. There are three components two understand here. These are the:

1. The Optimiser
2. The Optimisation Task
3. The Parameter File

The Optimiser is the algorithm we use to try and determine the optimal parameters using a specific Optimisation Task The Optimisation Task is the task an agent performs using the paramaters loaded from the paramfiles. How well the agent performs in this task then becomes the fitness of said agent. The Parameter File contains a set of parameters which are used to define the different skills an agent can perform, such as WALK, KICK ect.
