Current and future trends and challenges in robot soccer

Robot soccer has evolved into a very dynamic and competitive field within the last few years. Many different robot soccer leagues now exist, the league most strongly dedicated to entertainment and edutainment is currently FIRA MiroSot. It has now reached 11 vs. 11 robots sized 7.5 x 7.5 x 7.5 cm on a 440 x 280 cm field and is therefore the first robot soccer league to physically play 11 vs. 11 games. This paper aims to provide a short status report and introduction into current problems and possible solutions within the challenging areas of FIRA MiroSot robot soccer created by having 22 robots on the field.
