In the RoboCup Standard Platform League all teams compete with identical robots. The robots operate fully autonomously, i.e. there is no external control, neither by humans nor by computers. The current standard platform used is the humanoid NAO by Aldebaran. The Dutch Nao Team is participating in this league since 2010. See this page for a collection of team fotos, qualification documents and technical reports; an overview from 2010 to 2023.
