Post-Gazette.com is running two new articles today on the upcoming RoboCup Robot Soccer World Cup in which teams of cooperative robots attempt to play soccer. The first article is about Tucker Balch of the CMU MultiRobot Lab and his study of cooperation among ants. The second article describes the contest itself and points out why robot competitions such as Robocup differ from Battle Bots style TV shows in which the vehicles look like robots but are actually being remotely controlled by humans.
