Without doubt, soccer is the most popular type of #sport in the world. Many people love it, as it brings them together. What about robotic football players then? This year, the Chinese city Hefei hosted the #RoboCup, which could be called the robotic equivalent of the human World #Soccer #Championship. Have some of you watched Japan winning the Cup? #robots #football

This one’s tricky! Are there any robot- and soccerfans around? This is a picture of some well-renowned german soccer stars playing tabletop football against our UR5. It all went down at a trade fair in Dusseldorf, Germany. Regular attendees also could sign up to play against the robot, 3 lucky ones where even drawn to spend the evening with our athletes.
But who are they – any thoughts…?
