A humanoid robot took a spectacular tumble during a training session in Beijing, just days before the start of the second Humanoid Robot World Games. The robot was performing a speed test on the track when it lost control and slammed into a padded barrier at the end of the course.
These limitations will once again be put to the test at the World Humanoid Robot Games, held in Beijing from August 22 to 26. The event has grown significantly in just one year. The 2026 edition will feature 2,056 robots representing 666 teams from 16 countries, comprising a total of 51 event categories and 1,301 competitions held over five days. In addition to traditional races, the robots will participate in long jump, weightlifting, tug-of-war, table tennis, and other disciplines.
