2nd World Humanoid Robot Games Adds Long Jump, Weightlifting, Tug-of-War and Other Events; 2,056 Robots Compete Together

The 2nd World Humanoid Robot Games will be held at the Beijing National Speed Skating Oval, with a significantly larger scale than previous editions. This event covers 51 projects, attracting 666 teams from 16 countries across six continents to compete, totaling 2,056 robots competing together. The newly added long jump, weightlifting, tug-of-war, and table tennis events place higher demands on the robots' motion control and real-time decision-making capabilities.

Humanoid robots are an important carrier of embodied AI, with their core lying in the deep integration of AI algorithms and physical hardware. Such competitive events are not only a window for technology display but also a touchstone for testing robots' generalization ability, dynamic balance, and complex environment adaptability. The introduction of high-intensity competitive events marks that the industry is moving from single-scenario demonstrations to complex interaction applications.

With the surge in the number of participating teams and robots, the event will accelerate the establishment of relevant technical standards and the maturity of the industry chain. Through public competition, developers can more intuitively compare the advantages and disadvantages of different technical routes, promoting algorithm optimization and hardware iteration. This helps shorten the cycle of humanoid robots moving from the laboratory to commercial implementation, laying the foundation for future applications in fields such as industry and services.
