SMRTR summary
China's second World Humanoid Robot Games is testing humanoid robots in real hotels, libraries, and homes rather than traditional arenas. Robots are scored on tasks like making beds, delivering luggage, shelving books, and doing laundry, with penalties for collisions and dropped objects. The event, running August 22-26 in Beijing, has drawn 666 teams and 2,056 robots from 16 countries, emphasizing full autonomy over human-controlled operation.
