Scientists’ ambitious goal is to succeed in putting humans against robots in a football match!
It seems impossible but history teaches us that in fifty years things that only science fiction could have imagined could actually take place.
If we think about aviation history, only fifty years passed between the first airplane flight and the first time man set foot on the moon!
And in computer science only fifty years have passed between the invention of the first computer and the time that
a computer won against the world champion in a game of chess.
