Robotic Footballers Have a Ball


University of Plymouth Robo Football


Jonathan Fildes writes for The BBC:

A football tournament between teams of robots has been won by students from Plymouth University.

The third robot football UK championships ended in defeat for organisers Warwick University.

The event was aimed at helping the students improve the skills of their robots ahead of the Robot World Cup in Germany in June.

The machine shoot-out was held over two days at the Institution of Mechanical Engineers in London.

Nottingham, Oxford and the Open University also fielded teams.

Each university has to abide by strict guidelines set out by the Federation of International Robosoccer Association (Fira).
