Introducing KiNaomatics!



Soccer is a growing sport in the world of robotics, with the Robocup competition being held each year in different areas of the world. By 2050, they say, these soccer playing robots are going to be able to beat the champions of the World Cup.

Well, as of now, they're pretty pathetic.

While we can, we thought, why not play against these robots at their own level? KiNaomatics seeks to accomplish just that! Through the advanced image processing capabilities of the Microsoft Kinect, we aim to put a human in a robot's shoes and allow him to play against the native AI.


Nice try, little guy.
