China made history with the first artificial intelligence robot football game. Teams from Tsinghua University and Beijing Information Science Technology University competed against each other. The robots wore black and purple jerseys during the match. Each team fielded three robots for the competition. The game lasted two periods of ten minutes each.
The robots moved using computer programs built into their systems. No humans controlled the robots during the game. The machines made their decisions using artificial intelligence technology. The robots could see the ball and move around the field. They even raised their fists when they scored goals.
Tsinghua University's team called Vulcan won the championship. The robots showed good balance and quick movements during play. Advanced sensors helped the machines detect the ball and navigate the field. Most robots could stand up after falling down. Some robots needed staff members to carry them off the field on stretchers.
Booster Robotics provided all the robots for this event. Company leader Cheng Hao explained that sports competitions help test robot abilities. These games improve both computer programs and physical robot parts. The match served as practice for the upcoming World Humanoid Robot Games. Beijing will host those future games as well.
