Robot soccer - AIBO Blown Away

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the how'd-they-flip-the-coin dept.

Chilli writes "The results of RoboCup 2000 (the 4th RoboCup world championships) are out. There was a big suprise in the four legged robot league, which consistently uses AIBO hardware. UNSW United blew the competition away. In the final, they won 10-0 against last year's champion. The success was largely due to a new walking technique developed by the UNSW team."

    They may be able to score goals, but are they able to fall on the ground acting as if they are in agony at the slightest graze by an opponent?

    or better yet can they pick up pop stars??
