Beijing hosts first half marathon involving humanoid robots

Yesterday in Beijing the first half marathon with participation of mechanical iron things took place, as many as 20 of them were forced to run. Almost on par with leather ones. Distance - 21 097,5 m. The best time among robots - 2 hours 40 minutes. Robots ran epically, some of them are just walking symbols of workers at the end of the week. By the way, in the world of people the world record for a half marathon at such a distance is 56 minutes and 42 seconds, but in this competition the fastest person reached the finish line in 1 hour 2 minutes. We predict: in a couple of years, there is no doubt that robots will break this record. And in general - all records in all sports. And then people will try to break robot records. By the way, here is another news from the world of robotics. Off topic, but about iron things. In the USA they created a robot that can replace videographers. Boston Dynamics has unveiled an updated version of the Atlas robot, which can act as an operator. The robot is perfectly oriented in space, skillfully controls the camera, and understands how to choose the best angle for shooting.
