RoboCup is a Stage which Impulse the Research of Basic Technology in Robot

RoboCup is an international joint project to promote Artificial Intelligence (AI), robotics, and related field. It is an attempt to foster AI and intelligent robotics research by providing a standard problem where wide range of technologies can be integrated and examined. RoboCup chose to use soccer game as a central topic of research, aiming at innovations to be applied for socially significant problems and industries. The ultimate goal of the RoboCup project is by 2050, develop a team of fully autonomous humanoid robots that can win against the human world champion team in soccer (Fig 1). In order for a robot team to actually perform a soccer game, various technologies must be incorporated including: design principles of autonomous agents, multi-agent collaboration, strategy acquisition, real-time reasoning, robotics, and sensor-fusion. RoboCup is a task for a team of multiple fast-moving robots under a dynamic environment. RoboCup also offers a software platform for research on the software aspects of RoboCup (Burkhard02). One of the major applications of RoboCup technologies is a search and rescue in largescale disaster. RoboCup initiated RoboCup rescue project to specifically promote research in socially significant issues. In the next section we will introduce the origin, organization and leagues of RoboCup. Section 3 we will discuss the relative technology in RoboCup.
