At 10:45 PM Beijing time on July 20th, the 2025 RoboCup Humanoid League competition in Brazil came to a close, and Chinese teams made history! Tsinghua University's Hephaestus team, using the domestically developed T1 humanoid robots with an accelerated evolution design, clinched the championship title in the AdultSize category. This victory marks the first time in the 28-year history of RoboCup that a Chinese team has won the prestigious humanoid group competition.

The China Agricultural University's Mountain & Sea team, also using the accelerated T1 robot, secured second place, giving China a clean sweep of the AdultSize gold and silver medals. In the KidSize category final, the champions, Germany's Boosted HTWK, and the runners-up, Tsinghua TH-MOS, both used the K1 robots with an accelerated evolution design.

RoboCup, which began in 1997, is the world's leading robotics competition, with the Humanoid League attracting the most attention. In the 3v3 team matches, robots must demonstrate agility, real-time perception, decision-making, motion control, and multi-agent tactical coordination, making it the all-around test of full-stack robotics engineering.

This year, the T1 and K1 robots with an accelerated evolution design not only earned the trust of China's top teams like Tsinghua University's Hephaestus team and the China Agricultural University's Mountain & Sea team, but also gained recognition from strong international contenders such as the US UT Austin Villa and Germany's Boosted HTWK. The fact that all teams reaching the finals used robots with an accelerated evolution design signifies a milestone: A Chinese hardware platform, with its outstanding performance and developer-friendly tools, became the go-to equipment for a top-tier global competition. China's robots have now become a core force on the world's competitive stage.

创造历史！国产机器人包揽机器人足球世界杯冠亚军

北京时间7月20日22时45分，2025 RoboCup巴西机器人足球世界杯人形组比赛落幕，中国战队创造历史！成人组清华火神队凭借国产加速进化T1机器人，一举夺得冠军奖杯，这是RoboCup开赛28年来，中国战队首次在含金量最高的人形组夺冠。

同样使用加速进化T1机器人的中国农业大学山海队获得亚军，中国战队包揽成人组冠亚军。在小型组决赛中，冠军德国Boosted HTWK和亚军清华TH-MOS队，使用的均是加速进化K1机器人 。

RoboCup机器人足球世界杯始于1997年，是国际上顶级机器人赛事，人形组赛事关注度最高。3V3比赛中，机器人需具备灵活本体、复杂感知决策、运动控制和协作战术，考验全栈技术。

此次，加速进化T1、K1机器人不仅受清华火神、农大山海等中国顶尖队伍青睐，还获美国UT Austin Villa、德国Boosted HTWK等国外强队认可。人形组和小型组晋级决赛队伍都选用加速进化机器人，标志着中国硬件平台凭借出色性能和易用开发工具，首次成为国际顶级赛事“通用装备”，站上全球竞技舞台中央。
