at 10:45 pm beijing time on july 20th, the 2025 robocup humanoid league competition in brazil came to a close, and chinese teams made history! tsinghua university's hephaestus team, using the domestically developed t1 humanoid robots with an accelerated evolution design, clinched the championship title in the adultsize category. this victory marks the first time in the 28-year history of robocup that a chinese team has won the prestigious humanoid group competition.
the china agricultural university's mountain & sea team, also using the accelerated t1 robot, secured second place, giving china a clean sweep of the adultsize gold and silver medals. in the kidsize category final, the champions, germany's boosted htwk, and the runners-up, tsinghua th-mos, both used the k1 robots with an accelerated evolution design.
robocup, which began in 1997, is the world's leading robotics competition, with the humanoid league attracting the most attention. in the 3v3 team matches, robots must demonstrate agility, real-time perception, decision-making, motion control, and multi-agent tactical coordination, making it the all-around test of full-stack robotics engineering.
this year, the t1 and k1 robots with an accelerated evolution design not only earned the trust of china's top teams like tsinghua university's hephaestus team and the china agricultural university's mountain & sea team, but also gained recognition from strong international contenders such as the us ut austin villa and germany's boosted htwk. the fact that all teams reaching the finals used robots with an accelerated evolution design signifies a milestone: a chinese hardware platform, with its outstanding performance and developer-friendly tools, became the go-to equipment for a top-tier global competition. china's robots have now become a core force on the world's competitive stage.
創造歷史！國產機器人包攬機器人足球世界盃冠亞軍
北京時間7月20日22時45分，2025 robocup巴西機器人足球世界盃人形組比賽落幕，中國戰隊創造歷史！成人組清華火神隊憑藉國產加速進化t1機器人，一舉奪得冠軍獎盃，這是robocup開賽28年來，中國戰隊首次在含金量最高的人形組奪冠。
同樣使用加速進化t1機器人的中國農業大學山海隊獲得亞軍，中國戰隊包攬成人組冠亞軍。在小型組決賽中，冠軍德國boosted htwk和亞軍清華th-mos隊，使用的均是加速進化k1機器人 。
robocup機器人足球世界盃始於1997年，是國際上頂級機器人賽事，人形組賽事關注度最高。3v3比賽中，機器人需具備靈活本體、複雜感知決策、運動控制和協作戰術，考驗全棧技術。
此次，加速進化t1、k1機器人不僅受清華火神、農大山海等中國頂尖隊伍青睞，還獲美國ut austin villa、德國boosted htwk等國外強隊認可。人形組和小型組晉級決賽隊伍都選用加速進化機器人，標誌著中國硬體平台憑藉出色性能和易用開發工具，首次成為國際頂級賽事「通用裝備」，站上全球競技舞台中央。
