Two robots go for a ball at RoboCup-98 in Paris
Robot football. Two robots go for the ball at RoboCup-98, the 1998 World Robot Soccer Championships. This international event aims to create a robotic team within 50 years that can beat the winners of the human World Cup. In the RoboCup, two teams of up to five mobile, co- operative robots play competitive football games against each other. The Pioneer robots seen here were adapted by a team from Tuebingen University in Germany. The robots detect their environment using ultrasound sensors and a specially-designed vision system. They are Middle-Sized robots (less than 50 cm in diameter). RoboCup-98, the second RoboCup, was held in Paris, France

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the intense competition between two robots at RoboCup-98 in Paris, also known as the 1998 World Robot Soccer Championships. The ultimate goal of this international event is to develop a robotic team capable of defeating the winners of the human World Cup within half a century. In this particular image, two teams composed of up to five mobile and cooperative robots engage in an exhilarating game of football. The Pioneer robots showcased here were skillfully modified by a talented team from Tuebingen University in Germany. Equipped with ultrasound sensors and a specially-designed vision system, these Middle-Sized robots (measuring less than 50 cm in diameter) possess remarkable abilities to detect their surroundings. RoboCup-98 marked the second edition of this groundbreaking tournament held in Paris, France. It serves as a testament to humanity's relentless pursuit of technological advancement and artificial intelligence integration into various fields, including sports. As we admire this snapshot frozen in time, we are reminded that innovation knows no bounds. The convergence of robotics and football not only showcases cutting-edge technology but also highlights our collective aspiration for progress. With each passing year at RoboCup, we inch closer to witnessing an extraordinary moment when machines triumph over humans on the soccer field – truly embodying the spirit of competition and pushing boundaries beyond imagination.
