This is incredible, I hope to see robot sports in a couple of years

Just make me one I can wear already.. I'm getting old fast!

Now Bondi Rescue will be pulling these fake Chinese Tourists out of the Bondi Surf.
These are all grass root teams. The major companies did not participate. It is all about general participation for the public.
Of the Western media coverage of this story, this video was the most informative and didn't have a tone of dismissiveness or snark.
Great America likes to turn humans into robots with satellites and harassing AI, this is made possible by your nervous system picking up movement that can and does torture people.
In addition to the thriving private enterprises, China also has many large state-owned companies. These companies, which are not primarily profit-driven, support China's modern livelihood facilities and infrastructure, allowing ordinary people to enjoy the convenience brought by tremendous technological progress. This is a significant difference between China's socialist system and the capitalist systems of Europe, America, Japan, and South Korea, because capitalist economic theory, driven by profit, views state-owned companies as representatives of inefficiency and economic burden that must be minimized. Western societies now find it difficult to accept and are jealous of (please forgive me for saying this) China's success in various aspects, as it reflects the superiority of the Chinese social system. After receiving funding from their own governments, a large number of Western media outlets have launched long-term distorted reports and deliberate smears against China, leading people in these countries to believe that China is extremely backward, lacks human rights, and is barbaric. This has been one of the biggest lies in recent decades, and this smearing has even extended to the control of comments on YouTube. If you try to reply to some defamatory comments about China to refute them, the platform's automatic AI recognition system may block your reply with a certain probability, while still allowing those defamatory comments to remain. Now, with China opening visa-free policies to most countries, these lies are gradually being exposed one by one. As long as you personally visit China and take a look around, you will find it is a place where technology, humanity, and magnificent historical culture converge, and you will be amazed by its safety and near-zero crime rate, which is among the best in the world.
BYD battery

Next time, robots will win. They will improve fast.
Did they charge or change the battery during the run? If not…even more impressive.
Most of these are just student products, and large enterprises have not participated.
This activity aims to encourage more people to participate in the development of robots and bring the attention of large companies to small teams, providing them with funding for future product development
Chinese propaganda. It took them a while to copy from "Boston Dynamics".
Same with Electric Vehicles. Tesla removed most of patents with goodwill. Now Chinese want to eliminate Tesla using technology invented by Tesla.
No more technology knowhow sharing with China or allowe Chinese to do PhD in USA.
We humans. This robot can jog. Better than the one that can only bounce.
Flew from wuhan did you check him?
Why I have the feeling this not going to end up well in the future😊
The suppression by the United States will make China rise faster! Yes, it is a ‘rise’, because ancient China (except the Qing Dynasty) has always been a world leader in economy and technology!
Beautiful.
😅😅😅😅 They are not Robots, they are remote controlled toys. These Chinese are delusional.
No way did they run 13 miles on a single battery-charge. Another video on this said they had multiple battery swaps like race cars at pit stops. So, they couldn't really run a half-marathon. To me, if they COULD have run 13 miles without recharging, THAT would have been the most impressive accomplishment. We KNOW robots can walk, but how long can they function in real-world environments without having to be recharged?
We only had two out of 21 that made it to the end, and they were using controllers, so these are not robots, they're radio-controlled.
Impressive batteries
Instead of making humans life better they doubled down on robots 🤖
If they continue down this path, maybe one day china will make their own things instead of just copying other countries illegally.
All fun and games until Skynet goes self-aware….
Are the robots male or female ,,,,,, or something in between?
Damn good running partner. I'll run with it with alacrity.
Proud moment for all their friends and families. Did they celebrate with a cold beer??
Will these machines EVER do anything useful?
ill be seeing ai vehicle driving around delivering my amazon packages with robots soon, 24/7
Fun to watch. Imagine 2y later, it will be more impressive
Dear Robot Lord, this is the person who drove your grandpa to run in public without pants!
