Robots awkwardly race, fight and flop around in China's first World Humanoid Robot Games

Humanoid robots from 16 countries are competing in the World Humanoid Robot Games in China, participating in sports like running, soccer, and kickboxing alongside specialized tasks like medicine sorting. Despite significant investment in robotics technology, many robots moved awkwardly and stumbled during events, highlighting the challenge of replicating human movement—the fastest robot runner completed 1,500 meters in nearly twice the time of human record holders.
