In the high-tech area of E-Town, in the south of Beijing , the world 's first half marathon took place with the participation of humanoid robot s. About it reports Notebookchek , with by reference on CGTN channel.
The event was attended by more than 9,000 bugs and 20 teams of robots that demonstrated their technical capabilities. The main purpose of robot involved was to test their endurance, stability and energy efficiency.
The works , which ranged from 76 to 180 cm, and the weight reached 88 kg, worked autonomously or with the support of their developers. The fastest robot , named Tianun ", completed the distance in 2 hours 40 minutes , while the fastest runner among people showed time 1 hour 11 minutes. Some of the works have faced difficulties such as shaking, stumbling, or need to help you move forward.
This experiment has become an important step in the development of robotics, demonstrating the ability of robots to overcome long distances. Although they are not yet effective for everyday use, their participation in the half marathon opens new prospects for use in logistics, construction and health.
