RoboCup is an international robotics competition founded in 1997. The aim is to promote robotics and AI research, by offering a publicly appealing, but formidable challenge. The name RoboCup is a contraction of the competition's full name, "Robot Soccer World Cup", but there are many other stages of the competition such as "RoboCupRescue", "RoboCup@Home" and "RoboCupJunior".
The official goal of the project:
- "By mid-21st century, a team of fully autonomous humanoid robot soccer players shall win the soccer game, complying with the official rule of the FIFA, against the winner of the most recent World Cup.[1]"

The contest currently has four major competition domains, each with a number of leagues and subleagues:
- RoboCup Soccer
- Standard Platform League (formerly Four Legged League)
- Small Size League
- Middle Size League
- Simulation League
- Mixed Reality Competition[2][3]
- Humanoid League Humanoid League homepage
- RoboCup Rescue Rescue Leagues Homepage
- RoboCup@Home,[4] which debuted in 2006, and focuses on the introduction of autonomous robots to human society
- RoboCupJunior
- Soccer Challenge
- Dance Challenge
- Rescue Challenge
- General
Each team is fully autonomous in all RoboCup leagues. Once the game starts, the only input from any human is from the referee.[5]
