*🏃♂️Humans vs. Robots: The First-Ever Half Marathon!*
China is set to host the world’s first half marathon featuring humanoid robots competing alongside human athletes in April 2025! The event, happening in Beijing’s Daxing district, will see:
* 12,000 human runners + several humanoid robots
* *Race Distance:* 21 km (13 miles)
* *Robot Criteria:* Humanoid shape, two-legged movement, height between 50 cm – 2 meters, remote-controlled or fully autonomous
* *Notable Participant:* *Tiangong*, a humanoid robot reaching speeds of 10-12 km/h
The race will test endurance, performance, and the evolving role of AI-powered robotics in real-world environments. Interestingly, robots will even be allowed to swap batteries mid-race!
PS:China is redefining innovation by making robots work alongside real humans. A mutual bond is developing between AI and humanity, and this marathon is just the beginning of what’s possible!
