BEIJING (AP) — Chinese humanoid robots broke records set by humans, including beating Usain Bolt’s 100-metre sprint world record, on the opening day of the Olympics-like World Humanoid Robot Games in Beijing on Saturday.
More than 2,000 humanoid robots were participating in the event, the organizer said.
The five-day games, now in its second year, are a spectacle demonstrating China’s rapid progress in advanced robotics as the technology race with the US heats up, with 51 events and more than 1,000 competitions taking place including running, table tennis and soccer.
