Robot Soccer

On Sunday I went together with a couple of friends to the AIBO Robot Soccer Exhibition. Three different teams (4 AIBO dogs each team) were playing soccer against each other.
The technical leader of AIBO, Dr Masahiro Fujita, gave a talk about the “History of AIBO League at RoboCup”. He showed videos of each years RoboCup, starting in 1998. While the robot dogs still moved pretty slowly in 1998, it was very interesting to see their improvements over the years.
