RoboCup Humanoid KidSize

In RoboCup Humanoid KidSize compete teams of four humanoid robots in football matches. The match takes place on a 6m x 9m court, and two ten-minute times are played in each match. Robots must be able to play football autonomously, that is, no remote control is allowed. To achieve this, the robots must be equipped with a sensory system that allows them to perceive the state of the world around them, and the information of this sensory system must be connected to a computer on board the robot in which artificial intelligence algorithms are programmed. for the robot to make its own decisions. This competition is part of the Abierto Mexicano de RoboCup.

RoboCup is an international initiative whose vision is to have by the year 2050 a team of humanoid robots capable of defeating the FIFA world champion team in a football match.
