Humanoid robots in sport?
July 04, 2025
|The Mercury
WHILE China's men’s soccer team hasn‘t generated much excitement in recent years, humanoid robot teams have won over fans, according to the Associated Press.
-
Four teams of humanoid robots faced off in fully autonomous 3-on-3 soccer matches powered entirely by artificial intelligence last Saturday night in Beijing.
It was a first in China and a preview for the upcoming World Humanoid Robot Games, also set to take place in Beijing.
According to the organisers, all the participating robots operated fully autonomously using Al-driven strategies without any human intervention or supervision.
Equipped with advanced visual sensors, the robots were able to identify the ball and navigate the field with agility.
They were also designed to stand up on their own after falling. However, several still had to be carried off the field on stretchers by staff, adding to the realism of the experience.
