Robots are getting good at dribbling soccer balls, new video from MIT shows

• Researchers from MIT designed "DribbleBot," a robot that dribbles a soccer ball just like humans. 
• The robot stands out for its ability to kick a ball with legs, while most robots still use wheels.
• Robots and soccer may seem like an unlikely pairing. But the pursuit goes back decades.

First came Massachusetts Institute of Technology's Mini Cheetah Robot. Now, meet "DribbleBot," a four-legged, soccer-playing robot.

Researchers from MIT's Improbable Artificial Intelligence Laboratory designed the robotic system, which can dribble a soccer ball across a range of surfaces.
