The sport robots area is well developed. About 300 robots from 86 teams participated in the eighth National Robot Soccer Contest in Wuhan, the capital of central Chinas Hubei province, on May 14, 2007. Eurobot 2006 featured 120 robots that represented 128 different countries. The RoboCup scheduled for 2010 was held in Singapore. The event hosted 500 teams from 40 countries. The goal for the future is "By the year 2050, develop a team of fully autonomous humanoid robots that can win against the human world soccer champion team. Man/Robot interaction is a psychological isue too. People must be accustomed to machines that are close to them, observe them and in the area Rof sport are better than people because they are more precise, with more strength, are not exhausted and are without stress problems. The future of sport will develop in several ways. Some sport disciplines will be without robots, just humans participating in a competition, others will partly allow the presence of robots e.g., as goalkeepers and others will be as it is already now, only robots will compete, alone or against each other.
