In the world's first "Human-machine Half Horse" competition, the humanoid robot competed in the same field with marathon players. The participating robots have different appearances and sizes. Some swing their arms and strode, while others move forward with "small steps". Industry insiders said that this is a "small test" of the endurance, stability and speed of humanoid robots, verifying the achievements of industrial development and promoting technology to better serve people. The winning champion Tiangong robot has a long-legged design and unique algorithm, which can independently adjust the running direction and speed in real time.

Singapore's Straits Times: This is the best technical verification stage

"Human-machine running together" marks the entry of a new stage of cross-border integration of "sports + technology". This way of testing the ultimate performance of robots over a long distance and for a long time can not only force technological breakthroughs and demonstrate benchmark application results, but also inspire in-depth discussions on "human-machine symbiosis" and promote the accelerated implementation of the robot industry. Analysis said that the safety of humanoid robots is crucial. The technology of event verification will be quickly applied to logistics handling, medical rehabilitation and family care. The humanoid robot industry is expected to become a new growth pole for China's economy.

Korea's Chosun Ilbo: Human-shaped robots have broad prospects

This "human-machine running" event is a concentrated display of China's technical strength in the field of human-shaped robots. The accelerated evolution of humanoid robots and embodied intelligence highlights China's continuous innovation capabilities in bionic structures, algorithm optimization, etc. According to China's latest "2025 Humanoid Robots and Embodied Intelligent Industry Research Report", in 2025, the humanoid robot industry is expected to transition rapidly from the "technical verification period" to the "large-scale commercial period". This year, the market size of China's humanoid robots is expected to exceed 8.2 billion yuan, accounting for about 50% of the world.

The Financial Times of the UK: China has obvious advantages in humanoid robots

Since this year, humanoid robots have become a hot field. The humanoid robots have undoubtedly made a huge technological leap from turning handkerchiefs and dancing yangko to walking on the half-marathon track. China dominates a variety of mechanical and electronic components, and the production costs of such products are much lower than those of the United States. Cheaper parts and fast-paced innovations mean that Chinese humanoid robots may replicate the success of electric vehicles. In the next few years, Chinese companies will take the lead in the development and production of humanoid robots.
