Beijing's World Humanoid Games Put Fast Bots, Sparks and Setbacks on Display

At the 2nd World Humanoid Robot Games in Beijing, sprinting robots briefly beat the human 100m record yet crash or catch fire, underscoring rapid gains in whole-body control but clear limits in autonomy. The event showcased tasks from laundry and library shelving to firefighting and package delivery, highlighting commercial potential while many tasks remain teleoperated or require extensive multi-trial learning.
