RoboCup is the most influential and highest-level robot competition worldwide. This event serves as the China Zone competition for the international series.

The TH-MOS robot soccer team, established by Tsinghua's Department of Mechanical Engineering in 2004, is affiliated with Tsinghua's future robotics group. After many years of succession, the current team consists of over 20 undergraduate and graduate students from departments such as Mechanical Engineering, Automation, and Computer Science. This is the  eighth-generation robot that the team have developed. The team's best achievement prior to this was a fourth-place finish at the RoboCup 2023 in Bordeaux, France.
