Bots Kick Off

Robocup, the football world cup for robots, is taking place in Japan right now too! Talk about being greedy ;) Anyway, the competition is split into five leagues, including one for humanoids, sony aibos, custom made robots (x2), and a simulated league.

This is a competition many universities world wide build up to, spending month after month of research, as well as a lot of money. The key focus for AI is obviously the team play; it's difficult enough with virtual entities, but these things are actual robots that have to sense things around them! Naturally, things are also likely to go wrong...
