Humanoid Robots Compete in First-Ever Autonomous Football Championship - Jordan News
Humanoid Robots Compete in First-Ever Autonomous Football Championship Four fully autonomous teams of humanoid robots faced off in the final stage of the 'Robo League' football tournament held in Beijing, marking a major milestone in the integration of robotics and sports. اضافة اعلان In the championship match, "THU Robotics" from Tsinghua University defeated "Mountain Sea" from China Agricultural University with a score of 5–3, clinching the title on Saturday evening. The tournament, held in the Yizhuang Development Area, served as a prelude to the upcoming World Humanoid Robot Games, which will also take place in Beijing, according to a report by Interesting Engineering. What sets this competition apart is that no human intervention or control was used during gameplay. Each team consisted of three humanoid robots playing entirely autonomously, relying solely on AI algorithms and sensors. Each match was split into two 10-minute halves with a 5-minute halftime break. During the game, the robots walked (with a slight wobble), ran, kicked, chased the ball, and made real-time decisions—all independently. Equipped with optical cameras and sensors, the robots were able to track the ball from distances of up to 20 meters with over 90% accuracy, and identify key game elements such as field lines, goalposts, teammates, and opponents. Despite these capabilities, some limitations emerged, particularly in avoiding moving objects, leading organizers to adjust the rules to allow some non-intentional collisions without penalty. The Robo League is China's first robot football tournament with zero human control, highlighting the rapid advances in robotic vision, motion control, and autonomous decision-making. This event marks a significant step forward in demonstrating how humanoid robotics and AI can collaborate in complex, dynamic environments—laying the groundwork for future innovations in both technology and competitive robotics sports.
