The Future Of Robots -- Computer Scientists Program Robots To Play Soccer, Communicate With Bees

Engineers built humanoid robots that can recognize objects by color by processing information from a camera mounted on the robot's head. The robots are programmed to play soccer, with the intention of creating a team of fully autonomous humanoid robots able to compete against a championship human team by 2050. They have also designed tiny robots to mimic the communicative "waggle dance" of bees.

This is different and shows how our world is relying more and more on technology. We are even teaching robots how to play soccer.
