ROBOCUP 2007 AT GEORGIA TECH: “The iPhone? Yeah, I fucked her.â€
In 2025, when robots take over the world, enslave the human race and force me to work 15 hours daily in a silicon mine, I will look back on last week’s RoboCup 2007 research robotics competition with regret. In the meantime, I will marvel at the thought of robotics engineers from 37 countries staging a robot soccer competition on Georgia Tech’s campus.
RoboCup’s goal is to field by 2050 a robot soccer team that can beat a human soccer team. I think they’re well on their way. I’m pretty sure Team Osaka Kid, winner of RoboCup’s “Best Humanoid Robot†prize, can already beat me.
