RoboCup video series: Soccer league

RoboCup is an international scientific initiative with the goal to advance the state of the art of intelligent robots. Established in 1997, the original mission was to field a team of robots capable of winning against the human soccer World Cup champions by 2050.

To celebrate 20 years of RoboCup, the Federation is launching a video series featuring each of the leagues with one short video for those who just want a taster, and one long video for the full story. Robohub will be featuring one league every week leading up to RoboCup 2017 in Nagoya, Japan.

This week, we take a look at the heart-pumping excitement watching the popular RoboCup soccer leagues. You’ll hear about the history and ambitions of RoboCup from the trustees, and inspiring teams from around the world.
