RoboCup
is an international research and education initiative. Its goal is to
foster artificial intelligence and robotics research by providing a standard
problem where a wide range of technologies can be examined and integrated.
The concept of soccer-playing robots was first introduced in 1993. Following
a two-year feasibility study, in August 1995, an announcement was made
to introduce the first international conferences and soccer games. |
