~ Robot Football World Cup ~

[thilzz]

Robot Football is an academic sport organised by the Federation of International Robot-soccer Association.

It is hoped that FIRA’s flagship event, called the FIRA Robot World Cup (or the FIRA Cup in short), which started in 1996, together with many other FIRA events, will help generate interests in robotics in the young minds.
It aims to create a team of robots capable of beating a human side at football by 2050.

Robot football began in 1995 in Korea. From 1996 onwards, international championships have been held every year.

FIRA Cup Competition Categories
Like soccer, robot-soccer has well-defined game rules.

The FIRA Cup event is organized into several categories, including:

• Micro-Robot Soccer Tournament (MiroSot)

In MiroSot, participants need to devise good strategies using artificial intelligence (AI) techniques, and develop sharp sensing and precise real-time control for the physical robot-soccer players.

• Simulated Robot Soccer Tournament (SimuroSot)

In SimuroSot, the game is played on a computer between two teams. With no physical robot involved, the game is decidedly one of complex strategy development using advanced AI techniques.

• Humanoid Robot Soccer Tournament (HuroSot)

In HuroSot, a robot player is more human-like in that it has two legs, hence the term humanoid. Given the current state of the art, the participants are only expected to endow their humanoid robot with, for instance, the ability to walk steadily, avoid obstacles simulating stationary opponent players and take penalty shots, all under the remote guidance of its human trainer.

Other categories include:

• KhperaSot - Cylindrical autonomous robots with onboard vision systems
• NaroSot - 4c square robots up to 5.5 cm high
• Quadrosot - four legged robots.

Robot football combines skills from all fields of engineering, from computer programming, to mechanical design.

Robot football teams are usually found at Universities as part of research projects.
