Held alongside IJCAI-97 in Nagoya with more than forty teams in simulation and hardware leagues, it put multi-agent cooperation, real-time perception and motion control into a comparable open format that became a long-running benchmark for robotics research.

Curator's note: Cross-checked against the RoboCup official short history page; Pre-RoboCup-96 was held first, in 1996.

All six styles come from one template and can be compared word for word. [引用日期], Accessed, urldate and Y2 all carry this page's build date, 2026-11-03 — a static page is an immutable snapshot, so substitute the date you actually consulted it. The address in every style is the archive's canonical page: this English page translates the same snapshot, and the work keeps its name, so one record cites both. For one-click copying use the same entry in the timeline, which takes the day you opened it. Expand the other styles before printing.
