We are delighted to announce that Eindhoven University of Technology will once again host the most exciting event in the world of autonomous robots - RoboCup 2024! After the unprecedented success of the previous edition, we are committed to delivering an even more spectacular and inspiring event. Discover how robots are transforming our world and shaping the future in this exciting week from 17 to 21 July.




Discover the World of Autonomous Innovation
Step into the fascinating world of autonomous innovation, where robots are no longer a fantasy of the future, but a living reality. The goal of RoboCup is to accelerate the development of affordable and reliable robot technology to benefit our ageing society. After legendary editions in Nagoya, Sydney and Bangkok, it is now time for Eindhoven to shine the spotlight on the latest developments in robotics. We welcome an estimated 2,500 participants from some 40 countries, competing in four exciting leagues: RoboCupSoccer, RoboCupRescue, RoboCup@Home, RoboCup Junior and RoboCupIndustrial.

Experience the Excitement of Autonomous Competitions
RoboCupSoccer: An Abundance of Robotic Football Sensations. Imagine 'humanoids', walking robots with arms and legs, taking to the pitch in three exciting leagues. In addition, the Middle Size League provides a spectacle unlike any other. In this league, the most spectacular football is played, with teams of five against five table-high football robots controlling the pitch completely independently, without any human guidance. The speed, tactics and excitement of this game are breathtaking. But that's not all. Get ready for the 'Simulation Leagues', in which computers compete against each other in a virtual world full of football action. And then we have the Standard Platform League, in which all participants use the same robots. Here it's all about the programming of the robots, which makes the difference between winning and losing. Football has never been so advanced and exciting.

RoboCupRescue: Rescue robots are challenged to locate victims in simulated disaster scenarios, including mapping the environment and buildings and then reporting back. This technology can be invaluable in emergency situations, such as natural disasters.

RoboCup@Home: Care robots compete in everyday household challenges, such as taking and serving verbal orders for drinks and then serving them at the right place. These robots must understand, recognise and follow humans while grabbing the right drink from a range of objects.

RoboCupJunior: More than 1,000 high school students from various countries present their robots in football, rescue and dance competitions, awakening young minds to the world of robotics.
