	abstract = {The Robot World Cup Soccer Games and Conferences
(RoboCup) are a series of competitions and
events designed to promote the full integration of
AI and robotics research. Following the first
RoboCup, held in Nagoya, Japan, in 1997,
RoboCup-98 was held in Paris from 2{\textendash}9 July, overlapping
with the real World Cup soccer competition.
RoboCup-98 included competitions in three
leagues: (1) the simulation league, (2) the real
robot small-size league, and (3) the real robot middle-
size league. Champion teams were CMUNITED-98
in both the simulation and the real robot smallsize
leagues and CS-FREIBURG (Freiburg, Germany) in
the real robot middle-size league. RoboCup-98 also
included a Scientific Challenge Award, which was
given to three research groups for their simultaneous
development of fully automatic commentator
systems for the RoboCup simulator league. Over
15,000 spectators watched the games, and 120
international media provided worldwide coverage
of the competition.},
