Videos: Watch Japanese soccer robots scoring “spectacular” goals

Remember the soccer-playing humanoid we’ve shown you Monday? Well, the “RoboCup Japan Open 2010″ [JP] he was taking part in during the last few days ended yesterday, but not before the yet to be named robot showed off his (limited) skills as a goalkeeper. And he faced an (apparently) stronger adversary.

We have two videos showing that adversary scoring goals against other robots. And yes, it seems the road to a team of humanoids defeating a team of human soccer players (the main goal of the RoboCup organizers) is still long. Very, very long.

This video shows our robot from Monday as a goalkeeper, (unsuccessfully) trying to stop his robotic adversary:

Watch that attacker score another goal here:
