The goal of Robot Soccer:

By the year 2050, develop a team of fully autonomous humanoid robots that can win against the human world soccer champion team.

RoboCup 2005 has a small, medium, humanoid, and robot dog division. The Sony ABIO robot dogs are a little creepy because their movement is a too lifelike. Kind of like mutant babies crawling around nudging the ball with their heads. They look like great fun to program though. Hmmm… I always wanted a dog.

In the small division I like the Carnegie Mellon team. They’ve got a good media archive so you can check out all the best robots in action.

GOOOOAAAALLLLL!!!!!
