The Last Kick?
With the world cup finally finished, I think it's safe to expect fewer articles on bots with boots; so lets wrap up. FAZ.net is running an interview with Rojas, head coach of a respected robocup team -- The Ball Comes In Front of the Goal and Bang! The interview is well conducted, and has many very interesting insights into the development process, capabilities of the bots and the rules of the game. USA Today has an article wrapping up the world cup, which has a whole paragraph at the end dedicated to metal/plastic footballers; Ratings, Ronaldo, Ahn and Robots. Semi-related to the topic is a story about Asimo: Tin Men(it's a humanoid that can walk, and thereby potentially kick a football -- fair enough, a strenuous link ;) The in-depth article tackles the history of the robot, financial issues, as well as the underlying software. |
