RoboCup
RoboCup is an annual international robotics competition proposed[1] and founded in 1996 by a group of university professors (including Hiroaki Kitano, Manuela M. Veloso, 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 Soccer World Cup", but there are many other areas of competition such as "RoboCupRescue", "RoboCup@Home" and "RoboCupJunior". In 2019, the international competition was held in Sydney, Australia. Peter Stone is the current president of RoboCup, and has been since 2019.
“Competition pushes advances in technologies. What we learn from robots playing soccer or navigating a maze can be applied to industry and help us solve difficult real-world problems,” according to Professor Maurice Pagnucco, Head of the School of Computer Science and Engineering at UNSW.[2]
The official goal of the project:
RoboCup leagues
Team rUNSWift competing in the Standard Platform League at RoboCup 2010 in Singapore
RoboCup 2019 Humanoid AdutSize winer NimbRo
The contest currently has six major domains of competition, each with a number of leagues and sub-leagues. These include:
- RoboCup Soccer
- RoboCup Rescue League
- RoboCup@Home,[5] which debuted in 2006, focuses on the introduction of autonomous robots to human society
- RoboCup@Home Open Platform League (formerly just RoboCup@Home)
- Robocup@Home Domestic Standard Platform League
- RoboCup@Home Social Standard Platform League
- RoboCup Logistics League, which debuted in 2012, is an application-driven league inspired by the industrial scenario of a smart factory
- RoboCup@Work,[6] which debuted in 2016, "targets the use of robots in work-related scenarios"
- RoboCupJunior[7]
Each team is fully autonomous in all RoboCup leagues. Once the game starts, the only input from any human is from the referee.[8]

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.[12]
