Robot fighting is so 1990s. It’s time to spice things up with a little intelligence.
A first-of-its-kind matchup of artificial intelligence (AI) will kickoff via the inaugural AI World Cup online soccer tournament this November at the Korea Advanced Institute of Science & Technology, the birthplace of the first Robot World Cup soccer series in 1996.
The online, simulated AI soccer series will include a five-on-five AI soccer match to be played after the machines use artificial intelligence technologies to self-learn the game in an online simulation environment.
The machines will undergo a month-long online practice period in October and compete in several preliminary matches from Nov.
