The RoboCup 2008 competitions are on hold. In a message to all RoboCuppers, Prof. M. Asada, the president of the RoboCup federation, wrote that “due to the Olympic related issues, the Government in Suzhou, China will not be able to hold RoboCup 2008 IN JULY”.
Participants have been advised not to make any reservations for flights and/or accommodation. At this point in time, it seems to be unclear if RoboCup 2008 will be held at a later stage, or moved to a different place.
