A robot goalie fast enough to stop Cristiano Ronaldo? Yep… and it’s powered by Yaskawa Sigma-X servos. These 7.5 kW motors were tuned for over a year to achieve nearly 19 m/s, providing this robot with the speed it needed to compete against one of the greatest soccer players in the world. It’s an incredible intersection of engineering, creativity, and world-class athletic skills.

Curious how this worked? Watch Ronaldo vs. Robot Goalie

This project involved 100+ collaborators over 14–16 months of motor tuning, code rewrites, and system optimization to achieve peak performance. Shoutout to ‪everyone behind this incredible build!‬‬‬‬‬‬
