World Cup of Robots (Soccer)

Written on 25 April 2010 by Vincent Abry

FIFA World Cup of Soccer with humans will soon have some competition from World Robocup of Robots ! ; -)

And I must say these robots players are now very fast and accurate.

Very cool video from Tech United Eindhoven during Robocup 2010 in Germany.
