About this congress
RoboCup is an annual international robotics competition and scientific initiative founded in 1996. Its primary aim is to promote robotics and AI research by offering a publicly appealing, yet formidable, challenge: to develop a team of fully autonomous humanoid robot soccer players capable of winning against the human World Cup champions by the middle of the 21st century. Beyond soccer, the event encompasses various leagues including RoboCupRescue (emergency response), RoboCup@Home (domestic service robots), RoboCupIndustrial (work-related scenarios), and RoboCupJunior (for younger participants). It serves as a platform for students, researchers, and professionals to design, build, and program autonomous robots, fostering innovation, knowledge sharing, and skill development in AI and robotics. The event also includes international academic conferences and corporate exhibitions.
