Graz University of Technology will stage the world championship of intelligent robots from 29 June to 5 July 2009. Press accreditation is available until 10 June 2009 at http://www.robocup2009.org/287-0-press-accreditation.html
Robots can play football: on two legs, on wheels or "virtually" on a VDU. And they can also dance, carry out simple manual household tasks and even rescue individuals. From 29 June to 5 July 2009, Graz will become an international centre for robotics - as host city of the RoboCup 2009.
The RoboCup is the biggest robotics event in the world and combines games, sports, and science in a unique way. Some 2,000 participants from over 40 countries are expected to take part with about 700 robots in the competitions in various disciplines. This ultimate of scientific events is organized by Graz University of Technology. The main focus is on football but there are also competitions in service and rescue robotics as well as robotic dance contests for children.
Accreditation is open up to 10 June 2009. We kindly ask each member of your team to complete the form:
