WELCOME TO ROBOCUP SPL!

NAO

This website is dedicated to the former RoboCup SPL, which is now part of the Humanoid Soccer League (please see the linked site for current information).

The final international SPL competition took place at RoboCup 2025 from July 15 to 21, 2025 in Salvador, Brazil.

RoboCup is an international initiative that fosters research in robotics and artificial intelligence, on multi-robot systems in particular, through competitions of RoboCup Robot Soccer, RoboCup Rescue, RoboCup@Home, RoboCup Industrial, and RoboCupJunior.

RoboCup currently includes a number of different robot soccer leagues that focus on different research challenges. The RoboCup Standard Platform League is a RoboCup robot soccer league, in which all teams compete with identical robots. The robots operate fully autonomously, i.e. there is no external control, neither by humans nor by computers. The current standard platform used is the humanoid NAO by Aldebaran.
