China is making headlines in the robotics race with an upcoming half-marathon at the Beijing Economic-Technological Development Area, involving 12,000 participants, including humanoid robots. This event marks a historic first, as it pits bipedal human runners against humanoid robotic competitors, which must stand between 1.5 and 6.5 feet tall. Earlier, the bipedal robot Tiangong participated in a marathon event, illustrating the growing trend of integrating robotics into athletic competitions. While the RAIBO2 robodog demonstrated speed in another marathon, it won't participate in E-Town's race due to height restrictions.
In a groundbreaking race set to happen in April, China will stage the world's first half-marathon, pitting humanoid robots against 12,000 human runners.
Competing robots in the half-marathon must adhere to specific height and physical movement rules, showcasing the advancements in robotic development aimed at mimicking human capabilities.
