Only In Germany 16 - Robo-Cup

The video discusses robotic dogs, highlighting their traits such as being house trained, athletic, and cute. It explains how these robots can be programmed to perform tricks and participate in football matches. During these matches, programmers swap hardware to ensure all movements are controlled by computer chips. The Robocup series aims to create a robotic team that can beat a human team by 2015. The video humorously suggests that if these robots were the size of cars, no human team would compete against them. Finally, it touches on the concept of rewarding these robots with microchips instead of dog treats.
