Time for the 2009 Robot Soccer Tournament
The Jerusalem Post reports on Israel’s entry into RoboCup 2009, which begins next week:
In this tournament, the 25 teams have only three players, the players are all autonomous robots and the ultimate goal is to promote research and development in the fields of robotics and artificial intelligence.
RoboCup and its accompanying conferences have become an annual event since their inception in 1997. The Israeli delegation is participating in the RoboCup’s standard platform league tournament, which is generally for graduate students and professors from leading universities worldwide. Though they’ve not been drawn against each other, Iran is another of the participating countries.
RoboCup’s aim is to use soccer and other athletic activities as a means to advance humanoid robotics – the types of robots that resemble humans and can assist with human activities, such as household tasks, said Kaminka.
During the second half of the Tribulation, after Satan has incarnated the body of the Antichrist (Revelation 17:8, 11), he sets up an image of himself and demands that it is worshiped. The False Prophet gives this image the ability to speak and make decisions based on it’s interactions with humans (Revelation 13:14-15).
