International RoboCup Soccer Competition

The International RoboCup Soccer Competition is an annual event where teams of autonomous robots compete in soccer matches. It aims to advance robotics and artificial intelligence by challenging robots to collaborate, perceive their environment, make strategic decisions, and compete in dynamic situations. Participants range from university research groups to industry teams, fostering innovation in fields like computer vision, machine learning, and robotics engineering. The competition also promotes international collaboration and education, with the long-term goal of developing robots that can assist humans in real-world tasks, including rescue operations and service roles.
