Robots - Robocup2013

Last weekend I went to the Robots event Robocup 2013 in the city Eindhoven, in the Netherlands. I went there together with my wife and 3 kids and it was a bit fun. It was more fun for the participants of the event. There were participants from about 40 countries, including Turkey, Iran, China and so on... As a visitor you can only see the robots from a distance on a stand. So finally it wasn't more than watching to a bunch of robots who try to score with a colored ball. There were different leagues, categorized from small simple robots to artificially intelligent robots.

The more interesting robots are those humanoid robots, these robots look like humans, or they try to be.
Also there's some interaction, that makes a robot always interesting, especially for the kids. We saw the famous autonomous robot Asimo too, but it was very crowded and couldn't see much, so it wasn't a great success, but at least we saw something.

If you see how much research, effort and technology it was needed to build a robot like Asimo, how difficult and knowledge is needed to build a real human? That's why I believe in God as our creator and that there's a reason why we we're built.

I really hope the kids like it and that they're interested in building a robot too :-) Who knows, someday I'll post a robot built with my family.
