'''GuRoo''' is a [[humanoid robot]] developed at the Mobile Robotics Laboratory in the School of Information Technology and Electrical Engineering at the [[University of Queensland]].<ref>{{cite journal |last1=Barnes |first1=Nick |last2=Zalensky |first2=Alexander |date=30 Jun 2008 |title=A National Perspective on the Needs, Themes, and Major Groups - Robotics Research in Australia |url=https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/document/4539726 |journal=IEEE Robotics & Automation Magazine |volume=15 |issue=2 |pages=89-95 |doi=10.1109/M-RA.2007.907353 |access-date=21 Nov 2024}}</ref> The design of the GuRoo is based on the human form and it is kept as [[anthropomorphic]] as possible.<ref>{{cite journal |last1=Wyeth |first1=Gordon |last2=Kee |first2=Damien |last3=Wagstaff |first3=Mark |last4=Stirzaker |first4=Jared |last5=Cartwright |first5=Timothy |last6=Bebel |first6=Bartek |date=2001 |title=Design of an Autonomous Humanoid Robot |url=https://www.araa.asn.au/acra/acra2001/Papers/Wyeth.pdf |journal=Proceedings of the 2001 Australian Conference on Robotics and Automation |volume= |issue= |pages=44-49 |doi= |access-date=21 Nov 2024}}</ref> GuRoo is completely [[autonomous]]. It is used for research in different areas including dynamic stability, [[human-robot interaction]] and [[machine learning]]. GuRoo competes in the annual [[RoboCup]]. The goal of this competition is to foster the development of robotics through an annual soccer competition. It is the dream of the RoboCup federation to develop a team of fully autonomous humanoid robots, to play against and beat the human team that wins the [[FIFA World Cup|World Cup]] in the year 2050.
