About Us

We have put more than six years of experience in successful participation in the Four-Legged Robot League of RoboCup (including two championships in 2004 and 2005) and more than three years of experience in developing highly competitive robots for the Humanoid Robot League inside the design of the new four-legged robot. The team has published several dozens of international, scientific publications in the field.
