It seems that humanoid robots have a long way to go before catching up with human corridors.
Beijing’s E-Town Technology Center organized what he described as the first World Humanoid Marathon on Saturday, with 21 humanoid robots competing with thousands of humans.
Bloomberg reports The winning robot, Tiangong Ultra, was built by the X-Humanoid Government Research Institute and finished the race in two hours and 40 minutes. This would not be an impressive moment for a human: the male runner winning the race ended up in an hour and two minutes, and it is normal for casual corridors to complete a half marathon (alert to boast) less than two hours.
Tiangong Ultra needed human assistance to win, specifically a human who ran forward with a signaling device on his back, allowing the robot to imitate his movements. (Most other robots were controlled remotely, with human operators running by their side).
All other robot needed at least three hours to complete the race, and only four robots in total managed to finish before the cutting time of four hours, According to Bloomberg. Some robots barely passed the exit line, for example, Shenong He learned a human support corridorThen he crashed into a fence and broke. At one point, the little giant (the shortest competitor, 30 inches tall), stopped when the smoke emerged from his head.
The Hijing E-Town Humanian Half Marathon presented robots built by Chinese companies, as well as student groups. (Unitree G1 robot fell into the starting line, but the company said a client had used the robot without its algorithms).
To compete, robots needed to have a humanoid appearance and run on two legs. They ran in a separate and fenced lane from humans, with stepped starting schedules to reduce the risk of being found. Changes were allowed in the battery (the Tiangong Ultra battery changed three times), and substitute robots could even be changed with a penalty of time.
X-Humanoid Tang Jiang technology director He told Reuters“” I don’t want to boast, but I think that other robotics company in the West has matched Tiangong sports achievements. “
