The Robot World Cup Initiative (RoboCup) is an attempt to foster research in various technological fields by providing a standard problem where wide range of technologies can be integrated and examined. For this purpose, RoboCup chose to use soccer game, and organize RoboCup: The Robot World Cup Soccer Games and Conferences. The idea is to build increasingly advanced physical and synthetic agents that can play soccer at increasing level. Our landmark goal is to have a humanoid robot team play against the best human soccer team under official FIFA rules sometime around the middle of next century.
The RoboCup Federation is an international non-profit organization, registered in Geneva, which was established in 1997 for the purposes of encouraging, promoting and strengthening RoboCup research. This initiative is currently being pursued by approximately 1500 researchers in 16 different countries.
RoboCup is an international joint project to promote AI, robotics, and related field. It is an attempt to foster AI and intelligent robotics research by providing a standard problem where wide range of technologies can be integrated and examined. RoboCup chose to use soccer game as a central topic of research, aiming at innovations to be applied for socially significant problems and industries. The ultimate goal of the RoboCup project is
By 2050, develop a team of fully autonomous humanoid robots that can win against the human world champion team in soccer .
In order for a robot team to actually perform a soccer game, various technologies must be incorporated including: design principles of autonomous agents, multi-agent collaboration, strategy acquisition, real-time reasoning, robotics, and sensor-fusion. RoboCup is a task for a team of multiple fast-moving robots under a dynamic environment. RoboCup also offers a software platform for research on the software aspects of RoboCup.
One of the major application of RoboCup technologies is a search and rescue in large scale disaster. RoboCup initiated RoboCupRescue project to specifically promote research in socially significant issues.
The RoboCup Soccer Simulator is a research and educational tool for multi-agent systems and artificial intelligence. It enables for two teams of 11 simulated autonomous robotic players to play soccer (football).
