Headline: UNCAPTIONED: Ireland's Robot Football Team Win Prestigious RoboCup Event
Caption: Ireland’s robot football team won the Challenge Shield in the RoboCup 2023 Standard Platform League an international robotics competition held in Bordeaux, France in July 2023. The team scored an incredible 67 goals and conceded only two across nine matches, beating teams from Germany, the Netherlands, Canada, USA, Australia, and Brazil. And this time there was no robotic Thierry Henry to break Irish hearts. The winning team comprises staff and students from the Departments of Electronic Engineering and Computer Science at Maynooth University. They competed in an innovative version of robot football in which all competitors use identical humanoid robot hardware but develop software so that the robots play the game autonomously. To achieve this level of autonomy, teams must develop software, create advanced machine learning and AI and efficient real-time systems. Team RoboÉireann are Aidan Colgan, Shauna Recto, James Petri, Heather Bruen, Andy Lee Mitchell, Dr Ralf Beirig and Dr Rudi Villing.
