Explore the World of Autonomous Innovation
Step into the captivating world of autonomous innovation, where robots are no longer a futuristic fantasy but a living reality. RoboCup's aim is to accelerate the development of affordable and reliable robot technology for the betterment of our aging society. After legendary editions in Nagoya, Sydney, and Bangkok, it's now Eindhoven's turn to shine the spotlight on the latest developments in robotics. We anticipate welcoming approximately 3,000 participants from around 45 countries who will compete in four exciting leagues: RoboCupSoccer, RoboCupRescue, RoboCup@Home, and RoboCupJunior.
Experience the Thrill of Autonomous Competitions
RoboCupSoccer: An Abundance of Robot Football Sensations. Imagine 'humanoids', walking robots with arms and legs, stepping onto the field in three thrilling competitions. And that's not all – the Middle Size League presents an unparalleled spectacle. This league showcases the most spectacular football, featuring teams of table-high football robots engaged in a five-on-five game, autonomously controlling the field without any human input. The speed, tactics, and excitement of this game are breathtaking. But there's more to explore – brace yourself for the 'Simulation Leagues', where computers challenge each other in a virtual world of football action. And then there's the Standard Platform League, where every participant employs the same robots. The spotlight is on robot programming, where the difference between victory and defeat lies. Football has never been this advanced and thrilling.
RoboCupRescue: Rescue robots are challenged to locate victims in simulated disaster scenarios, mapping the environment and buildings while providing crucial reports. This technology could be invaluable in emergencies such as natural disasters.
RoboCup@Home: Caregiving robots compete in everyday household challenges, from taking verbal drink orders to delivering them to the right location. These robots must understand, recognize, and follow humans while navigating an array of objects.
RoboCupJunior: More than 1000 high school students from various countries showcase their robots in football, rescue, and dance competitions, igniting young minds with the world of robotics.
The Future
RoboCup's mission is to accelerate the development of affordable and reliable robot technology for the betterment of our aging society.
