RoboCup: Yesterday, Today, and Tomorrow Workshop of the Executive Committee in Blaubeuren, October 2003

RoboCup has been known for the goal of “creating robots capable of beating the world cup in 2050.” Clearly, we stated this goal back in 1996 not as an exact scientific goal, but as an audacious challenge to pursue. We aimed at creating a far away target for RoboCup researchers, as we were well aware that the development of fully autonomous soccer robots capable of competing against human world champion soccer players was a rather long term research project.
