Put your name on Bavaria's first humanoid team
RoboCup is an established international stage for robotics and AI: more than 3,900 competitors, researchers, students and professionals from 45 countries, over 24,000 visitors on site and many more following the games on the livestream. We are looking for partners who want to be part of it.
