Roboterfußball: Studie: Roboter schießt Tore gegen menschlichen Torwart
Ein in der Simulation trainierter Roboter kann bewegte Bälle verfolgen und aus unterschiedlichen Richtungen schießen. In Versuchen traf er auch gegen einen Menschen im Tor.
A Chinese humanoid robot equipped with advanced AI technology can score goals against human goalkeepers, according to a research team from China publishing in the journal "Science Robotics." This breakthrough comes from a team of researchers at Tsinghua University, the China Agricultural University, and ByteDance's AI research unit.
The robot, named T1, stands at 1.20 meters tall and weighs 30 kilograms. The innovation lies in a new AI control system that integrates perception and movement control, allowing the robot to track the ball, adjust its steps in real-time, and shoot from various positions. During tests, the robot not only kept up with the ball's movement but occasionally even overcame human defense.
While the exact number of goals scored isn't provided, the robot successfully scored between 80 to 90 percent of shots from the front and 60 to 70 percent from the back of the goal. The system also showed 46 percent less error in estimating ball position compared to direct camera measurements, and required 64 percent less time to reach the goal before shooting.
The robot's success in recent competitions, including the RoboCup in 2025 and a football tournament at the World Humanoid Robot Games in Beijing, demonstrates its potential. However, the system still lacks the ability to coordinate with teammates or opponents, limiting its capabilities to individual play.
