Robot Soccer Players Would Do UEFA Proud, Almost

As per usual, Robots-Dreams has come through with some excellent video footage, this time from the 12th KondoCup Robot Soccer competition in Japan. These humanoid robots aren’t autonomous, of course, but some of the moves that they’re capable of are pretty remarkable and leave lesser robots writing on the ground, reflexively clutching their shin servos. They’re still not quite up to RoboCup’s goal of having an autonomous robot soccer team beat a world class human team by 2050, but I’d say they’re solidly on track.
