This year’s football World Cup “RoboCup” takes place in Germany from 14 to 20 June 2006. The competition generated by the “RoboCup” should encourage research in artificial intelligence and the robotique. In Indeed, this initiative “RoboCup is an excellent way to assess the progress made in robotics. For Ubbo Visser, organizer of the competition and a doctorate at the University of Bremen, football offers the best challenge to robotics: “it is a very dynamic situation where the systems must react to the thousandth of a second. robots work in real time, must be totally independent but must also cooperate with their partners. In addition, they are opposed to competitors who try to destroy their strategy. ” 
Aided by humans, they mutate and improving. The theory of evolution will it one day apply to the PLC?
