This year, Beijing will host world-level "sports games" and an international "competition" for humanoid robots. The "sports games" here refer to the World Humanoid Robot Sports Games (tentative name). Beijing plans to hold in August the games' main events where humanoid robots will be the competitors, along with side events focusing on human-robot interactions. The main events will include major categories such as track and field, soccer, application scenarios, and integrated skills.
The "competition" refers to a half-marathon for humanoid robots. The first humanoid robot marathon is scheduled to take place in Beijing E-Town in April.
