It’s robocup week
This week teams of robots from all over the world are taking part in Robocup 2007 – the robotic football World Cup.
This year the event is taking place at Georgia Tech university in the US for the biggest ever demonstration of robotic footballing prowess.
While they might not have the guile or pace of Wayne Rooney just yet, scorelines that stretched into double figures proves that these robo-soccer stars certainly have a grasp of the game’s fundamentals.
The groups ranged from the ‘Humanoid League’ right through to robots so small they can only be seen with a microscope in the inaugural ‘Nano-Cup’.
