RoboCup Soccer World Cup

The RoboCup Soccer World Cup is an international competition where teams of autonomous robots compete in soccer matches. The goal is to advance robotics and AI by creating machines that can perceive their environment, make decisions, and coordinate with teammates in real-time. Participants often include research institutions and universities, aiming to develop technologies that could eventually benefit real-world applications like assistive robots and autonomous systems. The event promotes innovation, collaboration, and progress in robotics, with the ultimate aim of achieving robots capable of playing soccer at a human or near-human level, fostering both scientific research and technological development.
