• By 2050, build a team of fully autonomous humanoid which win against human world champion under the official regulation of FIFA.
• An alterantive goal:• By 2050, a human and robot combined team to
be a world champion and one of the robot players to receive MVP
Apollo ProjectApollo Project
• Goal: Send men to the moon and safely return them to the earth. (J.F.K.)
• Technologies: systems science, electronics, aviation, project management, etc.
• Effects: Major impacts to U.S. industries.
• Goal: to develop a computer that can beat human chess champion.
• Technologies: Search algorithms, parallel computing, parallel machine architectures, etc.
• Effects: Basic computer algorithms, parallel programming, etc.

• The goal shall be wildly exciting to both researchers and general public.
• The goal shall be difficult enough, so that the next generation technologies need to be developed to accomplish it.
• But, the first step can be made now.

PINO Project goalsPINO Project goals• “Poor man’s humanoid”
– Cheap and affordable solution• Off-the-shelf components• Low precision and simple structure
– Control method for low precision, low torque devices
• Robot Design– What is acceptable form of design?
• Cultural Icon: PINO signifies “incompleteness”, “Fragileness”, “Weakness”
