Welcome to the RoboCup 2006 Humanoid League website!


RoboCup
is an international joint project to foster AI and intelligent robotics research by providing a standard problem. The ultimate goal of RoboCup is:

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

To work towards this goal, annual robot competitions are held. These pages have been set up in preparation for the 2006 Humanoid League competitions, which took place in Bremen, Germany

In the Humanoid League, autonomous robots with a human-like body plan and human-like senses play soccer against each other. In addition to soccer games, penalty kick competitions and technical challenges will take place. The robots are divided into two size classes: KidSize (30-60cm height) and TeenSize (80-130cm height). Dynamic walking, running, and kicking the ball while maintaining balance, visual perception of the ball, other players, and the field, self-localization, and team play are among the many research issues investigated in the Humanoid League.
