Aibo Tackles RoboCup
 
Canine Football

Or should I say soccer? I can't imagine a dog playing American Football ;) Besides, they're not real dogs; they're Sony's Robo-pet dog. Anyway, some of you may have heard of a yearly robotics tournament called RoboCup. It has now 4 categories, simulated, small robots, bigger robots, and recently the new Aibo. The aim is to get a team to score goals, just like the real game. Obviously, there are some special conditions and restrictions that make it easier for them, but still -- it's quite an achievement!

Attache Mag has a new feature on them entitled They Run... They Kick... They Score Goals!. It talks about the challenges in AI presented by the competition, as well as a ambitious bet that's been going... A robot team will beat the human world champion team by 2050!

Anyway, there's plenty more very interesting stuff in there; it's definitely worth a few minutes of your time.
