Footage of the Stepper 3D humanoid robot perambulating at Tsinghua University. The bot is being developed to participate in an annual soccer tournament called RoboCup, which will be held this year in Istanbul in July. From Singularity Hub: “I love the idea behind RoboCup: using the game of soccer to develop robotics and promote science and technology. The robots operate autonomously during play, utilizing programs that determine how they will find the ball, control the ball, and score a goal. RoboCup’s ultimate mission is to generate robots that can beat humans at a soccer match by the year 2050.”
