RoboCup 2009: Humans vs. Robots

My apologies that this video kinda sucks, but it does get better after a little bit… The announcer human moves and the camera human seems to get their spaziness under better control. We posted a video of humans playing against robots of this size about a month ago, and I think you’ll agree that these bots make a much better game of it. Like, check out the defensive skills at 6:20… The robots are shifting between man to man defense and guarding the goal, and are able to anticipate passes and cut them off. And then they score.
They SCORE!
Against some friendly half-assed humans, admittedly, but it was an actual goal nonetheless. I can’t imagine it will be very long at all (a few years, maybe) before robots of this type (i.e. non-humanoids) will be able to give even skilled and determined humans a tough game, especially once someone writes some aggressive tackling software.
