Move over, Boston Marathon! Beijing just sprinted into history with the world’s first humanoid robot half marathon. Picture this: over 20 cutting-edge robots navigating a complex 21km course, their mechanical limbs whirring like characters from a sci-fi blockbuster. The star? TiangongUltra, which crossed the finish line in 2 hours and 40 minutes—faster than some of us after a Netflix binge weekend. 🏁
The event, held on April 19, wasn’t just a quirky spectacle. It’s a giant leap for China’s humanoid tech development, testing endurance and mobility under real-world conditions. Imagine walking upstairs while balancing a latte—now add a marathon. That’s the level of difficulty!
📹 CGTN’s Zheng Junfeng captured the milestone, proving robots might soon give Usain Bolt a run for his medals. Will we see robo-athletes at the Olympics next? Watch this space—literally. 🌐✨
