The inaugural World Humanoid Robot Games in Beijing showcased pint-sized humanoid robots competing in events like kickboxing and football. These competitions focused on overcoming challenges related to balance, battery life, and design. Spectators were excited by the robots' performances, praising the novelty compared to human sports. The event emphasized China's technological advancements in robotics and artificial intelligence. A humorous moment occurred when a robot withdrew from a 1500-meter race due to its head detaching. Photographers captured various events as the games highlighted China's commitment to robotics innovation.
The kickboxers, pint-sized humanoid robots entered by teams from leading Chinese technological universities, are part of a jamboree of humanoid events taking place at China's latest technology event.
Robots compete in a five-a-side football match on the first day of the World Humanoid Robot Games in Beijing on Friday.
Keeping [the head] balanced while in movement is the biggest challenge for us, said Wang Ziyi, a 19-year-old student from Beijing Union University, who was part of the team that entered the robot.
Seeing the robots race was much more exciting than seeing real humans, Hong added.
