At 22:45 Beijing Time on July 20th, history was made at RoboCup 2025 in Salvador, Brazil. Team Hephaestus from Tsinghua University using China's domestically developed Booster T1 humanoid robots won gold in the Adult Size Humanoid League, marking China's first-ever championship in this category.
The robot football team didn't just bring home the trophy, it showcased China's robotic prowess on the global stage. The homegrown T1 and K1 robots have already gained international recognition, being adopted by teams like America's UT Austin Villa and Germany's Boosted HTWK.
北京时间7月20日22时45分，被称为“机器人足球世界杯”的RoboCup在巴西萨尔瓦多落下帷幕。在类人组成人尺寸组别比赛中，清华大学火神队和其使用的国产加速进化T1机器人创造历史，代表中国战队夺得冠军奖杯。这是RoboCup开赛28年以来，中国战队首次在含金量最高的类人组摘金。
这支特殊的“中国足球队”不仅捧回奖杯，更让国产机器人技术获得国际认可。据悉，成人组和小型组晋级决赛的队伍所使用的机器人，全部来自加速进化，实现了在该顶级赛事中的全面领跑。
从人形机器人半程马拉松赛到具身智能机器人运动会，再到机器人足球世界杯，人形机器人纷纷走上竞技赛场，也步入了实际运用的“考场”。以机器人足球世界杯为例，在3V3的团队比赛中，机器人不仅需要轻巧灵活、皮实耐摔的本体，还要具备复杂的实时感知与大脑决策、高级运动控制和多智能体协作战术。这既是对机器人全栈技术的综合比拼，又通过团队运动锤炼机器人感知、决策和执行的能力。
