SMRTR summary
China's humanoid robot "Tien Kung" set a world record by climbing 134 outdoor steps at Haizi Wall Park in Beijing, marking the first time a humanoid robot has navigated such complex terrain. Using real-time perception and vision-based walking, Tien Kung handles irregular stairs and height differences up to 35 centimeters. The robot can sprint on snow, reach speeds of 7.4 mph, and withstand strong impacts. This breakthrough may lead to wider use of humanoid robots in challenging environments like disaster relief.
