Omg so cute. They move like little baby turtles when they first hatch.

[@tee5034]

Their movement is quite fluid. Really impressive

[@abdullahhasnain4701]

This is so cool, they are just mini humans, and they way they are playing is so natural

[@ChickenGMD]

Most people don't understand how fucking impressive this is.

[@e.v.k.3632]

In some way they are cute
Especially when they stand up

[@roxximusik8958]

Love this footage so much ! For me, there's something inexplicably funny about watching these two little but hugely motivated guys fall over, and then immediately find ways to get the ball in the net. Terrific sport - and no one gets hurt ! 👽🚩

[@feszty]

Reminds me of 4-5 year old kids playing soccer

[@dhandy4359]

Impressive how they stand back up. 😊

[@mho...]

kinda adorable!
but kudos to the creators!

[@bikedawg]

[@BLoodyEx]

Hmmm no. It's the latest DeepMind-stuff, they are powered by AI now and are self-learning

[@Talon17]

We need this on Mars

[@lendalennuk2484]

DARPA coop with Lego?

[@BuiQuangBinh-we5yp]

[@Csorbakarcsi]

What if someone was to remove the ball? What would the robots do then?

[@DaC4308]

😮❤

[@captbob10yt]

Soon i want to see the robot doing bicycle kick

[@Vancha112]

[@slikyviky]

Just wait 5 yours for them to grow

[@biscuitheque79]

Frightening

[@gridvid]

Autonomous? Neural Network?

[@JCAtkeson3]

Pretty sure it's a neural network.

[@lookinaturmom]

20 sec ad 🤮

[@InnerCirkel]

This is really scary. Imagine what we have to deal with in ten years time

[@SuicideDog]
