THE COGNITIVE APPROACH TO DESIGN OF SOCCER AGENT  L. Stankevich  Saint-Petersburg State Technical University, Politekhnicheskay 29, (812)24742  -14  e-mail: stankevich@phtf.stu.neva.ru  Abstract  Soccer (association football of robot) makes a good example of the problem of the real world which is moderately abstracted. This play has being chosen as one of standard problems for study on multi-agent systems. We are developing the soccer agent basing on the cognitive approach. Our soccer agent can learn whether he shoots a ball or passes it because he has the neurological modules inside.
