History

10KN2C Robotic Team – Small-size Soccer League

• 1950 : Computer scientists interested in Chess!

• 1997 : an IBM computer called IBM Deep Blue beat the world chess champion after a six-game match

• Around 2000: Computer scientists proposed new challenge for AI.

• "By the middle of the 21st century, a team of fully autonomous humanoid robot soccer players shall win a soccer game, complying with the official rules of FIFA, against the winner of the most recent World Cup."

• So the RoboCup was born!
