People against robots
Technology
A science fiction event occurred in China: 20 humanoid robots entered the streets of Beijing along with 10,000 runners. They didn't just participate in the mass race - one of them showed a truly sporting result.
In Beijing, the world's first half marathon was held, in which humanoid robots walked the distance alongside humans. About 10 thousand people and 20 autonomous cars took part in the large-scale race.
The leader among the robots was Tiangong Ultra, who managed to cover 21.1 km in 2 hours and 40 minutes. This was the first official sporting challenge where robots not only demonstrated walking or maneuvering but also competed with live athletes at full range.
The organizers call the experiment an important step towards integrating AI and robotics into human daily and even sports life. It is also noted that the project is aimed at studying the endurance and stability of modern robots in conditions of prolonged physical activity.
