Q: What do you think about a success possibility of humanoid soccer robot
A: By way of showing an example, MINI ROBOT will set an example about humanoid soccer robot in the forthcoming FIRA RoboWorld Cup USA 2007 which will be held in the middle of June in San Francisco.
For a robot-manufacturer company, soccer robot is not a big market though it gives pleasure for viewers. Yet, providing it is activated, I believe there is a sufficient room for humanoid soccer to succeed.
