ARTEMIS: A High-Performance Humanoid for Competitive Soccer

Mingzhang (Norman) Zhu, Ph.D. Student in the RoMeLa Lab at UCLA presents:

ARTEMIS, a 20-DoF humanoid robot built for high-performance autonomous soccer. Featuring custom quasi-direct drive actuators, lightweight legs, and flexure-based foot sensors, ARTEMIS achieves low inertia, strong kicking, and agile locomotion. A hierarchical control stack integrates predictive models with full-order tracking, enabling stable walking, precise ball handling, and responsive planning. With integrated vision, localization, and behavior-tree high-level control, ARTEMIS perceives the game state and executes soccer behaviors autonomously. At RoboCup 2024, ARTEMIS won the Adult Size League with 45 goals in six matches, establishing a benchmark platform for advancing dynamic humanoid robotics.
