The RoboCup Federation has announced new partnerships with three robotics companies: Booster Robotics, Fourier Intelligence and Unitree Robotics. The RoboCup Federation, an international initiative, uses the RoboCup competition series and challenges as a platform to promote and advance robotics and AI research. This partnership will bring together the expertise of the RoboCup community, and the networking and commercialisation opportunities that the three companies offer. The aim is that the companies’ humanoid robot hardware will be used in future RoboCup competitions.

RoboCup’s President, Ubbo Visser, said “The RoboCup Federation is very excited to be partnering with Booster Robotics, Fourier Intelligence, and Unitree Robotics towards our joint goal of improving the state of the art of intelligent robotics through cutting-edge research and world-class development. I firmly believe that our collaboration will enable us to achieve significantly faster and more impactful progress than any of us could achieve independently”.

Hao Cheng, the Founder and CEO of Booster, already has plenty of experience in the RoboCup sphere: “I graduated from Tsinghua University, where I had the privilege of competing several times in RoboCup — the world’s most prestigious stage for robotics & AI innovation. This experience not only deepened my commitment to RoboCup’s mission but also opened my eyes to the transformative impact of cutting-edge AI, autonomy, and machine learning in the real world”.
