INSUBCONTINENT EXCLUSIVE:
In a landmark accomplishment for robotics, the worlds very first humanoid robotic half-marathon concluded in Beijings E-Town on Saturday,
with Tiangong Ultra established by the Beijing Humanoid Robot Innovation Center protecting the champion
The robot completed the 21.0975-kilometer course in 2 hours and 40 minutes, keeping a constant rate of 7 to 8 kilometers per hour throughout
the race.Challenging surface tests robotic agilityThe route included a mix of flat surface areas and slopes with an optimum gradient of 9
Rivals dealt with six left turns and 8 right turns, including tight 90-degree angles, demanding accurate balance throughout navigation
A final 1.5-kilometer straight stretch before the goal checked sprinting abilities, showcasing the robotics versatility to diverse

robotics of drastically various sizes
Tiangong Ultra the highest rival at 180 cm and 52 kg mirrored adult human proportions, while the compact Little Giant Robot stood just 75
cm and weighed 10 kg, highlighting the spectrum of design techniques in this emerging field.Event paves the way for market
innovationDescribed as the first open-environment long-distance endurance test for humanoid robots, the event intended to foster
collaboration throughout the industry chain
Organizers highlighted its function in accelerating innovation transfer from laboratories to real-world applications through expertly
crafted guidelines and human-machine coordination frameworks
By bridging development and usefulness, the race looks for to open the blue ocean market of new and uncontested market spaces for humanoid
robotics, driving breakthroughs in autonomous mobility and collective systems.
