Create history! The Chinese team won the RoboCup Humanoid Championship for the first time

At 22:45 on July 20, the 2025 RoboCup Brazilian Robot Football World Cup humanoid competition came to an end, and this moment is destined to be recorded in the history of China's robot development. The adult group Tsinghua Vulcan team and the domestically produced accelerated evolution T1 robots it uses create history and wins the championship trophy on behalf of the Chinese team. This is the first time that the Chinese team has won gold in the most valuable humanoid group since the start of RoboCup. What is even more exciting is that the runner-up team is also from China and uses the T1 robot to accelerate evolution. The Chinese team won the first and second place in this World Cup adult group competition.

Since the World Cup group stage officially started, the Chinese team has been like shining new stars, performing brilliantly, and sweeping over traditional global teams with an overwhelming advantage. Tsinghua Vulcan team used the accelerated evolution T1 robot to "short" their opponents with big scores of 16:0, 9:0, and 12:0. This powerful dominance has allowed the world to see the strength of Chinese robot football, and also made every Chinese who pays attention to this game feel proud. They successfully reached the adult group robot final, and in the final, Tsinghua Vulcan team defeated Nongdashanhai team 5:2 and won China's first "Hercules Cup".

RoboCup Robot Football World Cup, the first competition began in 1997. After years of development, it has become the highest-level, largest and most influential robot event in the world. Among them, the humanoid group event has received the most attention in all competitions, because in the 3V3 team competition, robots not only need lightweight, flexible, solid and resistant to falling robots, but also have complex real-time perception and brain decision-making, advanced motion control and multi-agent collaboration tactics, which is a comprehensive competition of robot full-stack technology.

In this event, the Chinese team won the championship was not accidental. Accelerated Evolution The T1 robot has shown outstanding performance in the competition. His light and flexible figure travels freely on the court, and can quickly respond to the opponent's pressing, completing passes, shooting and other actions. The complex real-time perception and brain decision-making system allows robots to quickly judge the situation and make the best decisions in the ever-changing arena. For example, in an attack, facing the encirclement of multiple opponents' robots, the T1 robot quickly analyzes the positions of teammates and the loopholes in the opponent's defense, and accurately passes the ball to teammates in the best offensive position, helping the team complete a beautiful score. Advanced motion control technology ensures the smoothness and accuracy of the robot in running, steering, jumping and other movements, greatly improving the competitiveness in the competition. The use of multi-agent cooperative tactics has enabled the Chinese team's robots to cooperate tacitly, whether it is offense or defense, to form an organic whole and give full play to the team's greatest advantages.

At the same time, in the small group finals, the champion team, the German Boosted HTWK and the runner-up team, Tsinghua TH-MOS team, all used the robots K1 from the Accelerated Evolution Robot Company. The accelerated evolution K1 robot has become the "champion robot" in the small group of the Football World Cup just 4 months after it was launched, which shows its strong strength. Tsinghua TH-MOS defeated the six-time champion team, Rhoban, France, 5:4 in the group stage, and defeated the Australian NUbots 8:0 in the semi-finals to advance to the final. The German Boosted HTWK team "shortly sealed" their opponents German WF Wolves with a huge gap of 14:0 in the group stage, and defeated France Rhoban 7:0 and ZJUDancer 13:0 in the semi-finals.

The brilliant achievements of the Chinese team in the Robot Football World Cup are not only a concentrated display of China's robotics technology, but also the result of China's long-term investment and efforts in artificial intelligence, robot research and development and other fields. It represents that China's hardware platform has become the "general equipment" of top international events for the first time with its excellent performance and friendly and easy-to-use development tools, and has become the core force of the global competitive stage. This historic breakthrough will inspire more Chinese scientific researchers to devote themselves to the research and development of robot technology, promote China's robot industry to a higher level, and also give the world a new understanding of China's scientific and technological strength. In the future, we have reason to believe that China will continue to create more glory in the field of robots and shine more dazzling on the international stage.
