The world's first humanoid robot half-marathon was held on Saturday in Beijing, with the "Tiangong Ultra" humanoid robot developed by the Beijing Humanoid Robot Innovation Center claiming the championship by completing the 21.0975-kilometer race in 2 hours, 40 minutes and 42 seconds.
The second and third places for the humanoid half-marathon were taken by robotic participants from Beijing's Noetix Robotics.
Following the system of Formula One Championship, the race set up refreshment stations for robots' battery changing.
The 21-km route featured different terrains including ramps and rails instead of all flat stretches, posing challenge to the humanoid robots' mobility and flexibility.
A total of 20 humanoid robots from teams nationwide participated in the competition.
Some of them took large strides forwards, while some were running with small steps. There were also accidents, such as falling down and insufficient battery life. However, all these scenarios were able to test robots' abilities under complex circumstances.
