Queen Elizabeth II saw RoboCupJunior in Australia.

During a recent visit to Australia in February, Queen Elizabeth II went to the Technology School of the Future in Adelaide and was able to see RoboCupJunior for the first time. Students from Unley High School, (pictured) demonstrated a robot soccer game and then explained to the Queen how the robots find the ball and determine which way they are kicking. She was impressed with such young students being able to achieve the complexity of programming and high level of engineering in their robots. The Queen was also entertained by a performance of a team of choreographed dancing robots. Students from Smithfield Plains Primary school were excited at the opportunity to show their skills off to royalty and the international press entourage. Queen Elizabeth II watched the Junior soccer robot game.
