Robotic Soccer Player to Participate in “Robo Cup”

A robot created by American researchers that resembles a person will compete in an international soccer tournament in July in France. A group of researchers at the University of California, Los Angeles created the device that can play soccer. ARTEMIS, an acronym for Advanced Robotic Technology for Enhanced Mobility and Improved Stability, is the name of the robot. It is 38 kg in weight and 142 centimeters tall.

 

According to the researchers, ARTEMIS is one of the few running humanoid robots. It is also capable of walking and jumping on various surfaces without losing its balance. According to the scientists, the robot can also kick a ball and stay upright even after being kicked or struck. The robot can walk at a speed of 2.1 meters per second, according to the developers that designed it. According to the researchers, this might make ARTEMIS the quickest walking humanoid robot in the world. The team stated that the project’s objective was to build a robot that is capable of carrying out a wide range of human-like tasks, including playing soccer.

 

Engineers said that in order to accomplish this, they based the robot’s control mechanisms on human muscles. ARTEMIS moves and positions itself with the assistance of a number of sensors and cameras. Dennis Hong is the head of the Robotics and Mechanisms Laboratory at UCLA and a professor of engineering. In a statement, he gave an explanation for why ARTEMIS maintains her balance when running and walking on uneven terrain. According to Hong, the reason for this is that the robot is “getting both feet off the ground while in motion.” “This is a first-of-its-kind robot,” he continued.
