In the league all teams use identical robots. Therefore the teams concentrate on software development only, while still using s tate-of-the-art robots. The robots operate fully autonomously, i.e. there is no external control, neither by humans nor by computers. In 2008 the league goes through a transition from the four-legged Sony AIBO to the humanoid Aldebaran Nao.
