Humanoid Robot World Cup Soccer Tournament (HuroCup)

The goal of the HuroSot league is to encourage research in practical, autonomous, highly mobile and versatile robotic platforms. Intended applications for these robots are, among others, search and rescue robots, care robots, etc. As a benchmark problem, the goal of the HuroSot league is to develop humanoid robots that can play soccer well against other robots or even human opponents. Currently, the HuroSot competition is in its infancy, but nevertheless, humanoid robot soccer provides researchers with a good test bed for their systems and proved to be fun for both participants and spectators.
