You can find some robotic filler in your next half marathon.
Humanoid Robot Last week fled with real humans during a 13.1 -mile race in China in a world. In the Beijing event, 21 high -tech machines joined about 12,000 human racers, though to separate the two, a divider was used on the course, Wired Notified.
As the Bipodel Robot cleaned, only six successfully managed to finish this course, with almost every robot falling and tackling more heat problems, according to him Wired. The robot runs a humanoid robot half marathon under a set of strict instructions, such as allowing the pit to replace the batteries.
The winner of the robot race was Tiangong Ultra, which completed the competition in two hours and 40 minutes – compared to that, the slowest time for human racers was three hours and 10 minutes, Wired Notified. The Chinese robotic company Utcike and Beijing Humanoid Robot Innovation Center, Tiangong Ultra (five feet, nine inches) were also the only machine that snatched the human participment award. It requires that its batteries turn into a track three times, though it fell only once.

Particularly on the race, only the bipodel robot was allowed to compete, which means that they could not walk on the wheels. Each robot also had his own human operators, usually one of two of them was a group that was walking together in the entire race. Some tech, the human counterparts had control panels to help overcome the speed of the robot, while others tried to help them by clearing the way, according to it. Wired
And although many robots are struggling, the race shows how Humanoid Robot Tech has developed.
“Until five years ago, we did not really know how to get the robot to walk reliably,” said Alan Farren, a robotics professor at Oregon State. And now we do, and it will be a good demonstration. ” Wired Before the event
Of course, robots are present in other industries besides sports. The BMW was experiencing humanitarian robots, which was developed by people with tech company data, to help accelerate production last year, and Boston Dynamic unveiled its next gene Atlas last April.
