Four teams of Humanoid Robots faced off in a fully autonomous 3-on-3 Football game powered entirely by Artificial Intelligence in Beijing on Saturday night.
-
Touted as China's first 3-on-3 football game between humanoid robots, the event served as a preview for the upcoming World Humanoid Robot Games, set to take place in the Chinese capital this August.
According to the organizers, a key highlight of the competition was that all participating robots operated fully autonomously using AI-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. They were also designed to stand up on their own after falling.
During the game, however, several still had to be carried off the field on stretchers by staff.

Seems like the sort of thing that might lend itself to video?

Videos of this pop up every now and then. The robots are a bit clunky and aren't very good at football.
Here's one from a few months ago.

Let's see if this link works. It's just as fast-paced and exciting as a peewee soccer tournament
Actually, they should've pitted the robots against little kids. That would've been hilarious.

You should've seen it. It was fucking crazy, trust me. The room was completely filled with bleeding-edge technology, gadgetry you've never even heard of. It felt like a historic moment. I just got my instant camera back from the 24-hour photo to try to share what it was like:

Holy shit! I was dying of laughter when they are just randomly falling down, when the ref randomly grabbed those two like little kids to keep them from running off, and then ones being carried out on a stretcher.

They’ve definitely surpassed my own soccer skills. Or futbol if you prefer.
And zero audience fatalities. Now that’s a win.

That sort of competitions exists already for ages. RoboCup is the keyword to search Youtube. Besides other shapes, the Humaoid league is this area.
Proud to say, that Germany is quite advanced in this competition. I once talked with a Prof of the winning team about the challenges. It‘s mainly speed of computing and recognition, coordination with team with close to no network connectivity (think about how crowded networks are at every standard exhibition)

The amount of effort vs a handful of toddlers, and people looking bored until they start just laughing. I’d be so embarrassed if I was one of the robots.
