From Tingling Circuit Boards to Robotic Showmanship
Run, Robots, Run! Beijing's Humanoid Half-Marathon Takes Tech to New Terrain
Last updated:
In a world-first event, humanoid robots raced alongside humans at the Beijing Half-Marathon, turning heads and triggering a whirlwind of public and expert opinion. While human athletes breezed through, most of the 21 robot entrants stumbled, literally, over hurdles. Only six finished the race, with the stubbornly impressive Tiangong Ultra clocking in at 2 hours 40 minutes. From falls to overheated circuits, the event shed light on both the incredible promise and notable limitations of today's humanoid tech.
