this siteRegional Committee What is RoboCup? The Robot World Cup Initiative ( RoboCup ) was created as a vehicle to promote robotics and AI research, by offering a publicly appealing, but formidable challenge. One of the effective ways to promote science and engineering research is to set a challenging long term goal. When the accomplishment of such a goal has significant social impact, it is called a grand challenge project. Building a robot that plays soccer will not by itself generate significant social and economic impact, but the accomplishment will certainly be considered a major achievement for the field. We call this kind of project a landmark project. RoboCup is a landmark project as well as a standard problem. RoboCup offers the possibility to confront and exchange ideas in a common domain and encourages researchers interested in common problems to establish and keep contact with one another. - RoboCup Regional Committees web page - General information about Regional Committees What is the aim of the RoboCup US Regional Committee?
