The first half marathon with humanoid robots took place in Beijing (1 photo + 3 videos)
What progress has come to, unseen miracles. Here we are sitting on our couches, and in Beijing robots are running.
Yesterday in Beijing the first half marathon with the participation of mechanical iron things took place, as many as 20 of them were forced to run. Almost on par with leather ones.
Distance – 21,097.5 m. The best time among robots – 2 hours 40 minutes. The robots ran epically, some of them are just walking symbols of workers at the end of the week.
By the way, in the human world the world record for a half marathon at this distance is 56 minutes and 42 seconds, but at this competition the fastest person reached the finish line in 1 hour 2 minutes.
We predict: in a couple more years, there is no doubt that robots will break this record. And in general - all records in all sports. And then people will try to break robot records.
By the way, here is another news from the world of robotics. Off topic, but about hardware.
A robot has been created in the USA that can replace videographers. Boston Dynamics has presented an updated version of the Atlas robot, capable of performing the functions of an operator.
The robot is perfectly oriented in space, skillfully controls the camera and understands how to choose the best angle for shooting.
