In a remarkable display of technology, a robot named Tiangong, developed by the Beijing Humanoid Robot Innovation Center, completed the Beijing half marathon. The robot finished the race in 2 hours and 40 minutes. This time is noteworthy when compared to human runners. The men’s race winner completed the same distance in less than half the time it took Tiangong. Specifically, the human winner’s time was under 1 hour and 20 minutes. This event showcases the current capabilities and limitations of robotic technology in endurance sports. While Tiangong successfully finished the half marathon, its performance highlights the significant gap between robotic and human athletic abilities.
