RoboCup

From Freepedia

RoboCup is an international contest for autonomous robots, intended to promote research and education in AI. The name is a play on the title of the movie RoboCop.

The goal of the project:

By the year 2050, develop a team of fully autonomous humanoid robots that can win against the human world soccer champion team.

The contest currently has three major categories: the robot soccer contest, the robot rescue contest, and the RoboCupJunior for educational initiative for the young generation.

For the soccer category, there are many different leagues from simulation to full-size humanoid.
