Predicting Player Movements Using Dynamical Systems Model

The podcast episode discusses a study that aims to predict and measure soccer player movements on the field solely based on dynamics without considering cognitive processes or strategies. By using a dynamical systems model inspired by previous research, this study focuses on attractors (goal) and repellers (obstacles) to analyze how players navigate through the field. The model successfully predicted players' routes by considering the relative positions of obstacles, goals, attractor, and repeller forces.
