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

My old research group got a nice classification at RoboCup this year again! Congratulations! Proud.

My former robotics team won the Portuguese RoboCup Open in the 3D soccer simulation competition :)

A equipe de competições científicas do ACSO - Bahia Robotics Team (BahiaRT) - sagrou-se campeã de futebol de robôs na competição portuguesa de robótica (Portuguese RoboCup Open - Robotica 2015). O evento aconteceu na cidade de Vila Real em Portugal no período de 8 a 12 de abril de 2015.

Robots: technology, sports and art

All robots play. All fall down. But in a long run they'll get up for sure. "Here is a video from National Geographic of soccer playing robots falling down at the annual #Robocup. The robots look pretty hilarious when they fail. It's okay to laugh at them now while they are clumsy and ridiculous and not running the world and using humans as batteries and slaves"

On YouTube there is a short remark below the video itself: "They're becoming more like humans, but robots still have a long way to go." ... Not so long I think.
