The first World Humanoid Robot Games took place in Beijing, China, with participants from 16 countries including the US, Germany and Japan.
Robotic athletes attempted to compete across a range of events including athletics, football, dance and martial arts.
Organisers said the purpose of the event is to trial and refine current robotics, with sports being a way to test a robot’s decision-making, motor skills and controllers that could be later applied in real-life settings like factories and homes.
It’s all part of China’s push to become a global leader in humanoid robotics and the government has a national plan to build a world-class humanoid industry by 2027.
