Pictures: Human robots stumbled during half of the marathon in Beijing

More than 12,000 people and 21 human robots gathered in Beijing on Saturday morning to compete in half of the marathon.

Yes, robots.

The machine fought the muscles for 13 miles during the half -marathon in Beijing in 2025 and Robot Half Half Marathon, which the organizers said was the first of its kind.

Running robots are racing in a separate lane from humans and came in different designs.

Noetix Robotics N2, a human robot with a length of 40 pounds, has a length of about 3 feet. Unitree Robotics The G1 model, which weighs about 80 pounds and is 4 feet long. Another robot that runs in the race a woman’s face. The engineers or human treatments were accompanied by robots.

the The people of the people in the Beijing municipality She said on its website that the automatic marathon underwent “intensive training”, including “late endurance training”, before the race.

During a press conference in March, Lee Kuan, Vice President of the Economic Development Region of Economic Technology in Beijing, said that the robots were granted about three and a half hours to end the session.

He added that robots can win prizes in three categories: finishing sweat, best tolerance, and the most popular robot.

Although half of the human human marathon is an achievement, not every robot rose to this occasion. Shots Reuters showed that one robot falls into the starting line while another was shattered in an iron and sent its human operator to the ground.

According to the Wall Street Journal, a robot called “Huananuan” ran in the wrong direction sometimes before sitting on the floor and refuses to stand.

The Journal reported that one of the robots rose above the rest: Tien Kung Ultra, designed by Beijing Humanoid Robot Innovation Center, became the first human robot crossing the finish line within two hours and 40 minutes.

He told me that he hopes to admit the event that it is more than just a fun weekend.

He said in March: “We hope that this event will not only offer achievements in the manufacture of human robots, but also raise discussions and deepen the audience’s understanding of the robot capabilities, which will help accelerate the development of the industry.”

Technological developments, such as artificial intelligence, have allowed human robots rapidly in recent years. Some companies such as Mercedes-Benz and BMW have partnership with Robot Humanoid companies to test robots on factory lines, although very few of these robots have been published all over the world.

Some in the technology sector consider China ahead of the United States in the human robot race, referring to events such as the 2025 Spring Festival in Beijing, which included 16 human robots that were developed by Unitree, a Chinese company, danced to traditional popular music with complex designs chips along with human dancers.

The CEO of Tesla El Musk, whose company manufactures his own human robot, said he believed that humans will exceed the number of people by 2040.
