B-Human from Bremen faced HTWK Robots from Leipzig, both using hardware from Booster Robotics. RoboCup Federation President Ubbo Visser highlighted the leap in teamwork, skills, and AI-driven intelligence, framing it as progress toward the founders' 1997 goal of beating human World Cup champions by 2050.
