RoboCup, known as the "Robot Football World Cup", is being held in Salvador, Brazil. Today, the Vulcan Team of Tsinghua University and the Shanhai Team of China Agricultural University met in the finals of the humanoid group, locking the championship and runner-up in advance, achieving China's first victory in this group.
It is reported that the competition requires robots to operate completely autonomously, with motion control, visual recognition and multi-machine collaboration capabilities.
Both teams use the China-made accelerated evolution robot T1, which uses force-controlled joint technology and an AI chip with 200TOPS computing power, which can adjust movements in real time.
In the humanoid small size category, Tsinghua University's TH-MOS team and Germany's Boosted HTWK team reached the finals. Both teams used China's domestic robot Accelerated Evolution K1.
Before, no Chinese team has ever won the RoboCup humanoid category.
According to reports, the Tsinghua team has participated in the competition since 2004. After experiencing hardware shortages and algorithm iterations, it pioneered the "virtual slope method" to improve walking stability in 2008, and won third place despite adversity in 2014.
In this regard, some netizens said:"When the world closes a door for you, it will open a window for you." "The Chinese men's football team is really bad. It can't even compare with machines."
