RoboCup 2025 brings the world’s top robot soccer teams to Brazil

July 5, 2025 by David Edwards

Regarded by some as “the world’s largest robotics and artificial intelligence competition”, RoboCup returns to Brazil this month, with more than 250 teams from 37 countries preparing to compete in a high-stakes showdown of autonomous machines.

Set to take place in Salvador, Brazil from July 17 to 21, RoboCup 2025 will feature cutting-edge robots battling it out in fully autonomous soccer matches, alongside competitions in rescue, home service, and industrial robotics.

Founded in 1997, RoboCup has long served as a proving ground for AI and robotics researchers, with its most ambitious goal still decades in the making: to develop humanoid robots capable of defeating the human FIFA World Cup champions by 2050 in a fair match.

Amazon marks deployment of 1 millionth robot and unveils new AI foundation model for its robots

July 1, 2025 by Sam Francis

Amazon Robotics has reached two major milestones in its robotics and AI operations: the deployment of its one millionth robot and the launch of a new generative AI foundation model designed to optimize its global fleet of warehouse robots.

The new AI model, called DeepFleet, is expected to improve robot travel efficiency by 10 percent across Amazon’s fulfillment network, which spans more than 300 facilities worldwide. The company says the technology will support faster customer deliveries and reduce operational costs.

“Think of DeepFleet as an intelligent traffic system for our robotic fleet,” writes Scott Dresser, vice president of Amazon Robotics, in a blog post on one of the company’s websites. “It optimizes how robots move within our facilities, reducing congestion and improving efficiency.” [Read more…] about Amazon marks deployment of 1 millionth robot and unveils new AI foundation model for its robots

China hosts world’s first fully autonomous humanoid robot football match

June 30, 2025 by Sam Francis

Beijing has hosted what is believed to be the world’s first fully autonomous football match between humanoid robots, marking a milestone in the development of embodied artificial intelligence.

Held on June 28 in the Yizhuang Development Zone, the match featured four teams of robots developed by Chinese universities, including Tsinghua University and China Agricultural University. In the final, the THU Robotics team beat the Mountain Sea team 5-3.

Each robot operated entirely without human control, using onboard cameras, sensors, and deep reinforcement learning algorithms to detect the ball, make tactical decisions, and navigate the field. Organizers say the event represents a breakthrough in real-time AI decision-making in dynamic physical environments.

Opinion: Brain Corp president outlines how robotics can transform information overload into operational intelligence

June 27, 2025 by Sam Francis

By Michel Spruijt, president, Brain Corp International

Here’s an uncomfortable truth: we’re drowning in data – and it’s making us dumber, not smarter.

Global data production is accelerating at a breathtaking pace, from 64 zettabytes (or 64 trillion gigabytes) in 2020 to an estimated 170 ZB by 2025.

To put that in perspective, that’s enough data to stream every movie ever made simultaneously on 50 billion devices. [Read more…] about Opinion: Brain Corp president outlines how robotics can transform information overload into operational intelligence

Robo-oceanographers: The next wave of automated solutions tackling marine pollution

May 30, 2025 by Mai Tao

Fleets of bio-inspired robots and cutting-edge automation are gearing up to address the ocean’s plastic plague and chemical contaminants, with nature’s own microscopic powerhouses offering a complementary strategy.

The challenge of ocean pollution is vast, a tidal wave of plastics, chemical effluents, and debris threatening marine ecosystems and, ultimately, human health. Traditional cleanup methods, while valuable, often struggle with the scale and complexity of the problem.

But a new generation of innovators is looking to robotics and automation, drawing inspiration from nature itself, to turn the tide.

From nimble robotic fish targeting microplastics to autonomous surface vessels scooping up debris, the future of ocean cleanup is looking increasingly automated, with intriguing possibilities for commercial deployment.
