Robot Soccer: The Next Big Tech Play?

Did you catch the robot soccer match in Beijing? Sure, it looked like slapstick comedy—robots face-planting and pileups galore—but beneath the bloopers, there’s a real leap in embodied artificial intelligence. These bots played autonomously, navigating and recovering (mostly) on their own. With China investing billions and aiming for millions of humanoids by 2050, are we witnessing the dawn of a new robotics era? Or are safety and trust still too big a hurdle? #EmbodiedAI #RobotSoccer #TechDebate #Games #VideoGames
