Created in 1997, RoboCup is an annual tournament composed of several robotic competitions including soccer, rescue, and tasks around the home. The competitions allow teams to not only have fun, but assist in the development of the fields of robotics and artificial intelligence. The next RoboCup is will be held in Graz, Austria from June 29 to July 5th and will have up to 3000 participants from 40 countries.RoboCup Soccer CompetitionWhen the first RoboCup Soccer tournament was held in 1997, the robots competing were incredibly simple wheeled vehicles. Since then technology has evolved to a point such that many robots are humanoid capable of walking and kicking. The tournament’s organizers have set a goal for the tournament to produce robotic team capable of beating the world’s top human soccer team by the year 2050.
RoboCup Soccer is the core focus of the RoboCup Federation and is composed of several leagues:
