Robots race humans for 1st time in world debut of humanoid half-marathon
Description
April 23, 2025
In a global first, 21 humanoid robots ran alongside 12,000 humans in a half-marathon in Beijing over the weekend.
The bipedal robots of various makes and sizes navigated the 21.1-kilometre course in Beijing on April 19, supported by teams of human navigators, operators and engineers in what event organizers called a first. As a precaution, a divider separated the parallel courses used by the robots and people.
