According to the organizers, the key aspect of the match was that all the robots participating in it were fully autonomous. According to Associated Press, They used strategies based on artificial intelligence, without any intervention or supervision on the part of man.
Equipped with advanced optical sensors, robots were able to identify the ball and navigate the pitch. “Footballers” were also designed to get up after the fall. However – as the Associated Press points out – during the match several of them had to be lifted from the pitch on the staff by the staff, which added realism to this experience.
