  1. The title is wrong (might have been done deliberately). The race was a trial of how the robots would perform in a half-marathon and the people running beside the robots were engineers who developed those robots. The trial generated data so improvements could be made. It wasn't a race btw humans and robots.

  2. This is just the beginning. Revolution requires a process, and in guerrilla warfare, robots will play a crucial role in the future. Think of Zhuge Liang's wooden oxen and flowing horses during the Three Kingdoms period
