It's not just America's women who have 勝利d in a サッカー world cup. Thor, a 5-foot-tall,humanoid robot built by UCLA and University of Pennsylvania has won the 'RoboCup'.

UCLA and University of Pennsylvania students partnered to lead Team THORwIn (指名するd for THOR and Darwin, a smaller robot that the team has competed with in the past) to victory in the adult-size humanoid robot 部類 with a 5-4 勝利，勝つ in the 決勝戦 over Baset Robot 研究室／実験室 of Tehran.?

Team THORwIn also earned RoboCup's Louis Vuitton Cup Best Humanoid Award, given to the team that best 論証するs 前進するs in 人工的な 知能 and ロボット工学.

The team will get to keep the トロフィー, a Baccarat 水晶 statue, for a year.

The ultimate goal of RoboCup is to host a 競争の激しい human vs. robot match by 2050.

At the end of the event, the teams met for a 討論会 to 演説（する）／住所 the 最新の 研究 in ロボット工学.

'RoboCup is 活動／戦闘-packed,' said Dennis Hong, a professor of mechanical and 航空宇宙学 工学 at te UCLA.

'Thousands of people from all around the world with cutting-辛勝する／優位 robots and 科学（工学）技術 are all in one place.?

'While it is 広大な／多数の／重要な to 勝利，勝つ, the event is more about friendship than 競争.'

The world 選手権 肩書を与える is the second in a 列／漕ぐ／騒動 for UCLA and the fifth 連続した 選手権 ― and second Louis Vuitton award ― for team leader Dennis Hong, who led RoboCup teams for Virginia Tech before joining the UCLA 工学 faculty in 2014.

THOR, short for 戦術の 危険な 操作／手術s Robot, is a 5-foot-tall, 119-続けざまに猛撃する humanoid with 金物類／武器類 designed and built まず第一に／本来 by students in Hong's Robots and 機械装置s 研究室／実験室 (RoMeLa) at UCLA.?

The ソフトウェア that guides THOR to make the 権利 moves on the field was developed まず第一に／本来 by students in UPenn's General ロボット工学 Automation, Sensing and Perception (GRASP) 研究室／実験室, led by professor Daniel 物陰／風下.

RoboCup 競技者s are 自治権のある robots that are programmed to 成し遂げる 独立して of humans once they are on the サッカー pitch.?

To be successful they must 連合させる 速度(を上げる） and agility, kick a ball with either foot, 作戦行動 around the field and be able to sense the 場所s of …に反対するing players 同様に as the goal.

The two 研究室／実験室s have worked together for years and entered THOR in the DARPA ロボット工学 Challenge last month in Pomona.

In an email to Team THORwIn members who did not go to 中国, Ahn 報告（する）／憶測d that 条件s were challenging in the 早期に 一連の会議、交渉／完成するs: Electricity was spotty as many teams 力／強力にするd up their robots at the same time.?

And the white background in the 競争 area made it difficult for the robot's 見通し-過程ing 器具／備品.?

Several UCLA students traveled to Hefei for the tournament, 含むing Min Sung Ahn, a robot handler who worked on ソフトウェア; Kevin Liu, a robot handler who 焦点（を合わせる）d on 金物類／武器類; and Rachel Park, who served as a 審判（をする） and worked on 戦略.

'However,' Ahn wrote, 'as it is the same for all teams and as four-time defending champs, we are 人物／姿／数字ing out our ways through these 障害s 首尾よく.'

Alumnus Virgil Bourgon, who earned a bachelor's degree from UCLA 工学 in 1961 and a master's degree in 1964, and his wife Mary sponsored the team's 中国 trip.

While today's adult-sized humanoid robots 板材 around the field slowly, the smaller robots in other 部類s are faster and more agile.?

勝利者s in these 部類s 含むd Carnegie Mellon University, the Chiba 学校／設ける of 科学（工学）技術 in Japan, and the University of New South むちの跡s in Australia.?
