autonomous biped soccer
« on: May 06, 2009, 10:24:29 AM »
Apparently this is the new robocup soccer. The bipeds are really slow, and tripping over themselves, but they score occasionally. The vids can be a bit boring, so just watch two simultaneously ;D

Looks like they're dancing sometimes 8)

Pretty cool. I think I remember watching a RoboCup video that was much more active...

EDIT: Oops! Not RoboCup. KondoCup Robot soccer, but I don't know if it is autonomous. Here it is:

nope not autonomous . . . they have no/few sensors and spend no time 'scanning' for the ball or the opponent.
