![]() ![]() If none succeed, the robot who covered the largest area wins. The goal for the little guys on the ring is to floor their opponent in less than three minutes. The competition is being organized by Cyberbotics Ltd., a Swiss-based company developing the open source Webots robot simulator is an open source and multi-platform desktop application used to simulate robots which provides a complete development environment to model, program and simulate robots.Īnnouncing the the competition on, Olivier Michel, Founder and CEO of Cyberbotics explained how it is judged: However, just as with football, wrestling involves transferable skills and for those who are still concerned about NAO robots attempting to floor each other, the challenge here is to control simulated robots, digital twins of the "real" robots. ![]() The next skill NAO is set to acquire is wrestling which at first seems entirely uncharacteristic for the cute knee-high robot that is liked by all those he meets, particularly children. If you want more about the robot's development, see How Is NAO Doing Now! Just in case you missed all of this, NAO (pronounced "now") is Softbank Robotics autonomous, programmable, humanoid robot created almost 20 years ago by Bruno Maisonnier that has become one of the standard tools of educational and research robotics. So what will a wresting match between two opposing Naos look like? While a lot of progress has been made Nao still doesn't seem quite a natural at this game. We've also watched hundreds of 5-a-side football matches, since NAO was adopted as the standard platform for RoboCup's standard. Over the years we've watched NAO learn to walk and to climb stairs, to draw, to play the Xylophone and to dance, which given a troupe of these robots can very entertaining. The qualification round for this contest is already underway and the finals will take place during ICRA 2023 and be broadcast online in real time. Robotics researchers are being challenged to devise algorithms to control NAO robots in a wrestling match. ![]()
