On April 19, the world's first half-marathon for humanoid
robots was held in Beijing. The robots waited beside human
runners, starting from the same line.
"I saw many robots running. Some were surprisingly fast,
others had very lovely designs, and their running styles were quite
different," said Zhang Huihui, who took part in the race.
During the 21-kilometer-long race, the robots had to run on
two legs. Some even wore running shoes. Each robot was supported
by a team of human guides, operators and engineers. They
could have their batteries changed during the race. Teams could
even use new robots when the old ones could no longer run.
There were 20 teams in the race and six of them made it to the
end. Tiangong Ultra won the first in two hours and 40 minutes. "It
crossed the finish line about 30 minutes earlier than expected," said
Xiong Youjun, CEO of a robot center. "In general, all the robots
today could deal with challenges such as turns and speed bumps. We
made history together."
"Robots' completing the race isn't the finish line. It's the
starting point for the growth of the robot industry," said Liang
Liang, from Yizhuang's Administrative Committee.
Although the robots fell from time to time, the event proved
that they could do real-life tasks. Liang added, "Their small steps
today will become giant leaps for human technological progress
tomorrow."
