I wonder what time the time would be if there was no need to recharge.Robots have competed against humans in the half marathon for the first time ..in China
Some 21 humanoid robots raced alongside thousands of runners around the 21km (13-mile) course in Beijing, China,
The winning robot was Tiangong Ultra, which crossed the finishing line with a time of two hours and 40 minutes, while the men's winner of the race had a time of one hour and two minutes.
Tang Jian, chief technology officer for the creator of the robot, the Beijing Innovation Centre of Human Robotics, said its performance was aided by long legs and an algorithm allowing it to imitate how humans run a marathon.
"I don't want to boast, but I think no other robotics firms in the West have matched Tiangong's sporting achievements," he said.
He added that the robot's battery was changed just three times during the race.
Wow, that was incredible to watch. They are such amazing creatures and obviously capable of human feelings and interaction. So cool.Not really in the news, but I found this short video very interesting.
