Robot That Exceeds Messi on the Soccer Field Falls Short
ARTEMIS, the robot designed to challenge the world of football, had a less than stellar performance at the tech conference GITEX 2023. While it did manage to land a few kicks, it often let the ball roll right past it or even over its own foot. The robot’s creators attribute this to its lower operating level during the demonstration.
ARTEMIS operates autonomously and uses a combination of AI and sensors to play football. Although it may not have lived up to the hype, it is still a one-of-a-kind robot, capable of walking, jumping, running, and is the world’s fastest human-shaped robot.
The ultimate goal for ARTEMIS is to compete in the international autonomous robot soccer competition, RoboCup, and play against the current World Cup-winning team by 2050. However, there is still a long way to go in terms of progress and development.
In the 2024 RoboCup, ARTEMIS will have a chance to make improvements and showcase its true potential. While it may not be on par with Messi just yet, it has already proven its ability to kick the ball and stay on its feet despite being tackled.
Overall, ARTEMIS has the potential to outperform most players on your average five-a-side team. But for now, professional footballers like Harry Kane can breathe a sigh of relief.
Will ARTEMIS be the future of football? Can it truly surpass human players on the field? Let us know your thoughts in the comments below!
