Early Edition with Ryan Bridge · Sep 29, 2021 · 4m

Could we see football players playing against robots?

Well that's the aim of a group of robotic scientists.

The Robot Soccer World Cup or Robo-Cup has been going for nearly twenty five years.

It involves human shaped robots playing against each other in a game of football.

Robo-Cup president Peter Stone joined Kate Hawkesby.
