There is something curious about football, for a human being, dominating a ball seems natural, but behind every pass, every change of direction and every shot there is an extremely complex sequence of calculations that the brain performs without us realizing it, balance, strength, coordination, movement anticipation and constant adaptation, second violations happen.

The tests presented by Boston Dynamics, the robot analyzed human movements and reproduced complex patterns of body displacement, the focus was not on the ball itself, but on the way the body reacts to sudden changes in direction, weight distribution and fine control of movement. Behind this there is a technology called proprioception, it is the robotic equivalent of the sense that humans have of knowing where each part of the body is without having to look at it directly.
