"Man and Machine Run Together" This "science fiction film"

The curtain is about to begin-

Affected by strong winds and cooling weather

It was originally scheduled to be held on April 13

2025 Beijing Yizhuang Half Marathon

Cum humanoid robot half marathon

Postponed to April 19

The organizing committee's event preparation and

Preparations for human runners and robotics teams

Has entered the sprint stage

More than a month ago

The world's first "man-machine runs together" half horse

News to be held in Yizhuang, Beijing

Once published

It immediately sparked heated discussion among netizens

"Do you play really?" "Can you run down?"

"Do you recognize the way?" "Will you fall?"

...

As the event approaches

The answers to these questions are gradually becoming clearer

Let's answer them one by one below

[What are the characteristics of the "man-machine running" competition system? 】

Humanoid robot and human runner

Register simultaneously and start at the same time

A total of 21.0975 kilometers

To ensure safety

Between humans and humanoid robots

Physical barrier

This event attracts

More than 30,000 runners signed up

More than 9,000 runners are expected to be

As well as nearly 20 participating teams from robot companies, they competed in the same field.

According to the competition system

The participating robot should have a humanoid appearance

Can achieve movements such as walking or running on both feet

Can't be a wheeled structure

Control

Manual remote control can be used

You can also follow independently and other forms

Humanoid robot in competition

Can be used for battery swap

Or how to replace the robot

Relay to complete all competitions

[Can robots run past humans? 】

If using AI technology

Generate a "human-machine running together" screen

The robot seems to be catching up with the speed of humans

But in fact

The running speed of the robot

There is still a big gap with humans

Currently, all participating teams are passing

Simulation and road surface testing

Further improve robot performance

Some participating robots

The maximum running speed can reach 12 kilometers per hour

Considering that road running has a big impact on the body

Some robots have added buffering devices

Some even wear special "running shoes"

This competition is set for humanoid robots

"Close time"

3 hours and 30 minutes

Compared to the usual half-marathon competition

The 3-hour closing time is slightly extended

I believe that with the advancement of technological innovation in the future

The running speed of the robot will continue to increase

[What is the purpose of letting a robot run? 】

Humanoid robot "horse running"

Need to be intelligent in the embodied body of "big and big brain"

Preparation at the ontology optimization level

Explore the peak boundaries of joint torque and speed

Raising humanoid robot in motion

Accuracy of perception of oneself and environmental state

We must also try to improve the "anthropomorphism" of robots

Importing human motion data

Make the running posture of a robot more natural

This "man-machine runs together" half horse

Let the robot out of the laboratory

More like a "limit test" of technological breakthroughs

A "public display" that helps industrial development

The results of the competition are by no means evaluating technical strength

The only "rule" to cooperate with human-machine

Each team will improve in preparation and finishing the game

Then, based on actual application scenarios, each of them will show their capabilities

[How to view the "imperfection" of robots? 】

"Man and machine running together"

For the organizer and the participating team

It's the first time for both the contestants and the audience

During the game

Maybe "small episodes" will inevitably appear

"Iron Man" may fall

You may also stop and take a break

But no matter what

This is a "benevolent collision" between technology and society

A small step for a robot

It will be a big step in the development of human science and technology

Promote "human-machine symbiosis"

Develop to "human-machine co-prosperity"

Participation is victory

Heroes after the race

This is by no means the end

But the whole society is concerned

The starting point for supporting industrial development and accelerating exchanges and mutual learning
