RoboCup is an international scientific initiative with the goal to advance the state of the art of intelligent robots. When established in 1997, the original mission was to field a team of robots capable of winning against the human soccer World Cup champions by 2050.
But will robots be able to do it by the end of year 2038?
(Changed the date from 2037 to 2038 because the world cup is every 4 years and there will be a world cup in 2038)
@BrunoParga Well if it doesn't happen by end of 2038 then it's lost, it's a gamble, I personally think that robotics and AI would have the capabilities to do that by the end of 2038 ... but will FIFA accept such an event? It's a gamble.
But I think FIFA should because this match is going to bring so much viewer, they'll make so much cash it's just absurd. Much like Lee Sedol's game attracted an absurd amount of people and an incredible spotlight on the world of go.
It would be the game of the century and deepmind is so set on doing this without really saying it https://sites.google.com/view/vision-soccer
