{{Short description|Annual robotics competition}}
'''RoboCup''' is an international contest for autonomous [[robot]]s, intended to promote research and education in [[AI]]. Currently has two major categories, the robot [[soccer]] contest, and the robot rescue contest.
[[File:13-06-28-robocup-eindhoven-024.jpg|thumb|A robot attempts to kick the ball at RoboCup 2013.]]
'''RoboCup''' is an annual international [[robotics competition]] founded<ref>{{cite journal |citeseerx = 10.1.1.49.7511 |title=RoboCup: The Robot World Cup Initiative |publisher=RoboCup |date=1995}}</ref> in 1996 by a group of university professors (including [[Hiroaki Kitano]], [[Manuela M. Veloso]], [[Itsuki Noda]] and [[Minoru Asada]]). The aim of the competition is to promote [[robotics]] and [[AI]] research by offering a publicly appealing – but formidable – challenge.


The name ''RoboCup'' is a contraction of the competition's full name, "Robot World Cup Initiative" (based on the [[FIFA World Cup]]), but there are many other areas of competition such as "RoboCupRescue", "RoboCup@Home" and "RoboCupJunior". Claude Sammut is the current president of RoboCup, and has been since 2019.
For the soccer category, there are many different leagues from simulation, to full-size humanoid.


The official goal of the project is:

The formal RoboCup competition was preceded by the (often unacknowledged) first [[International Micro Robot World Cup Soccer Tournament]] (MIROSOT) held by [[KAIST]] in [[Taejon]], [[Korea]], in November 1996. This was won by an American team from [[Newton Labs]], and the competition was shown on [[CNN]].<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.newtonlabs.com/soccer/ |title=Robot Soccer at Newton Research Labs |website=www.newtonlabs.com |access-date=2019-12-06}}</ref>

RoboCup was canceled in 2020 due to COVID-19. The planned host location of Bordeaux will host in 2023.

A robot attempts to kick the ball at RoboCup 2013.

RoboCup is an annual international robotics competition founded[1] in 1996 by a group of university professors (including Hiroaki Kitano, Manuela M. Veloso, Itsuki Noda and Minoru Asada). The aim of the competition is to promote robotics and AI research by offering a publicly appealing – but formidable – challenge.

The name RoboCup is a contraction of the competition's full name, "Robot World Cup Initiative" (based on the FIFA World Cup), but there are many other areas of competition such as "RoboCupRescue", "RoboCup@Home" and "RoboCupJunior". Claude Sammut is the current president of RoboCup, and has been since 2019.

The official goal of the project is:

"By the middle of the 21st century, a team of fully autonomous humanoid robot soccer players shall win a soccer game, complying with the official rules of FIFA, against the winner of the most recent World Cup."[2]

RoboCup leagues[edit]

The contest currently has six major domains of competition, each with a number of leagues and sub-leagues. These include:

Each team is fully autonomous in all RoboCup leagues. Once the game starts, the only input from any human is from the referee.[7]

The formal RoboCup competition was preceded by the (often unacknowledged) first International Micro Robot World Cup Soccer Tournament (MIROSOT) held by KAIST in Taejon, Korea, in November 1996. This was won by an American team from Newton Labs, and the competition was shown on CNN.[10]

RoboCup was canceled in 2020 due to COVID-19. The planned host location of Bordeaux will host in 2023.
