00:00The World Humanoid Robot Games are setting new records and in some cases even
00:05surpassing records set by human athletes. The second edition of this competition is being held
00:10in Beijing, China, between August 22 and 26, and brings together 2,056 robots from 666 teams from
00:19from 16 countries. The program includes 51 events and 1,301 competition sessions. There are disciplines
00:26sports such as athletics, football, gymnastics, weightlifting, table tennis and arts

00:36Striking. The Chinese humanoid robot Tiangong Ultra covered 100 meters in 9.39 seconds during
00:42a preliminary round, surpassing the 9.58-second mark set by Usain Bolt in 2009 and that
00:49It remains the human world record. But the robot didn't stop there. This Tuesday, Tiangong Ultra

01:24The conditions, rules, and characteristics of the competitions are not necessarily the same.
01:30Beyond the sporting spectacle, these games seek to demonstrate whether robots can
01:34to operate in real-world scenarios. Thus, the World Humanoid Robot Games not only put
01:39to test not only how fast these machines can run, but also how close they are to
01:44become tools capable of functioning autonomously in the real world.
