Early Edition with Kate Hawkesby

Could we see football players playing against robots? Well that's the aim of a group of robotic scientists. The Robot Soccer World Cup or Robo-Cup has been going for nearly twenty five years. It involves human shaped robots playing against each other in a game of football. But now they've set a goal, they want their robots to win a game against the winners of the real FIFA World Cup by 2050. Robo-Cup president Peter Stone joined Kate Hawkesby. LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
