Abstract

This demonstration paper illustrates RMASBench, a new benchmarking system based on the RoboCup Rescue Agent simulator. The aim of the system is to facilitate benchmarking of coordination approaches in controlled settings for dynamic rescue scenarios. In particular, the key features of the systems are: i) programming interfaces to plug-in coordination algorithms without the need for implementing and tuning low-level agents' behaviors, ii) implementations of state-of-the art coordination approaches: DSA and MaxSum, iii) a large scale crowd simulator, which exploits GPUs parallel architecture, to simulate the behaviour of thousands of agents in real time.
