Targeting RoboCup Humanoid League and KRSBI-Humanoid (KRI) in 2026.
RoboCup is an international robotics competition founded in 1997 with an audacious goal: develop autonomous robots capable of defeating the human World Cup soccer champions by 2050.
This challenge represents the next frontier in artificial intelligence—following the historic 1997 moment when Deep Blue defeated chess champion Garry Kasparov. While chess required strategic thinking, robot soccer demands real-time perception, dynamic movement, and team coordination in an unpredictable physical environment.
The Humanoid League is the competition closest to this 2050 vision, featuring robots with human-like bodies that must rely solely on human-like senses—no laser rangefinders or GPS allowed.
Kontes Robot Indonesia (KRI) is the national robotics competition that brings together top university teams in Indonesia. The KRSBI-Humanoid division focuses on autonomous humanoid soccer, emphasizing full system integration, robustness, and real-world performance.
KRSBI-Humanoid mirrors the spirit of RoboCup at the national level, testing perception, locomotion, and strategy under strict rules and real match conditions.
The Humanoid League pushes the boundaries of robotics research across multiple disciplines. Robots must perceive, decide, and act autonomously using only human-like sensors.
Dynamic walking, running, and maintaining balance while performing soccer actions like kicking.
Real-time detection of the ball, other players, field lines, and goals using only human-like sensors (cameras).
Determining the robot's position and orientation on the field without external positioning systems.
Multi-agent cooperation, role assignment, and strategic play between autonomous teammates.
KRSBI-Humanoid prioritizes full-stack performance, from hardware readiness to match strategy. These are the areas we focus on for the 2026 target.
End-to-end integration of mechanics, electronics, and software for stable humanoid soccer.
Role assignment, tactical decisions, and teamwork under competition rules.
Robust detection of ball, field lines, and goals in varied lighting conditions.
Durable actuators, power systems, and maintenance practices for match day.
The most dynamic category featuring highly agile robots. Teams of four compete in fast-paced matches that showcase advanced locomotion and ball-handling skills.
Full-scale humanoid robots approaching human dimensions. Teams of two robots play on larger fields, emphasizing robust bipedal walking and powerful kicks.
Note: TeenSize (80-140cm) was historically a separate category but has been consolidated into the current two-class system.
The highest honor in the Humanoid League, determined by team leader voting based on robustness, walking ability, ball handling, and soccer skills.
Winners of the main competition brackets in KidSize and AdultSize categories.
Recognition for excellence in specific technical demonstrations like high kicks, obstacle avoidance, and push recovery.
Competition where robots from different teams must cooperate, testing adaptability and communication.
The first RoboCup competition was held in Nagoya, Japan, with the ambitious 2050 goal announced.
The Humanoid League was officially introduced, starting the journey toward human-like soccer robots.
Louis Vuitton sponsored the Best Humanoid Award, presenting winners with a crystal globe crafted by Baccarat.
Radical changes introduced to size classes to accelerate progress toward the 2050 goal.
RoboCup moved to virtual format, demonstrating the community's resilience and adaptability.
A major edition focused on improved autonomy, perception, and compliance with stricter rules.
