Robot Dogs Play Soccer!

At the recent RoboCup, Sony's AIBOs played soccer. Sort of a more civilized version of the Robot Wars program on TV. It's worth going to MSNBC just to see the pictures of the dogs splayed on the playing field. Anthropomorphics in its most literal form!

Um, anthropomorphic means "human-shaped" so I don't think it's quite a literal form. :P

But the robot dogs are darn cute on the soccer field. :)

Ah... I was thinking of the idea of making robots (or dogs) play a human sport. :)
