新素材 社会热点 On April 19, the world's first half-marathon for humanoid(人形的) robots was held in Beijing. The robots waited beside human runners, starting from the same line.
“I saw many robots running. Some were surprisingly fast, others had very lovely designs, and their running styles were quite different,” said Zhang Huihui, who took part in the race.
During the 21-kilometre-long race, the robots had to run on two legs. Some even wore running shoes. Each robot was supported by a team of human guides, operators(操作员) and engineers. They could have their batteries changed during the race. Teams could even use new robots when the old ones could no longer run.
There were 20 teams in the race and six of them made it to the end. Tiangong Ultra won the first in two hours and 40 minutes. “It crossed the finish line about 30 minutes earlier than expected,” said Xiong Youjun, CEO of a robot centre. “In general, all the robots today could deal with challenges such as turns and speed bumps. We made history together.”
“Robots' completing the race isn't the finish line. It's the starting point for the growth of the robot industry,” said Liang Liang, from Yizhuang's Administrative Committee.
Although the robots fell from time to time, the event proved that they could do real-life tasks. Liang added, “Their small steps today will become giant leaps for human technological progress tomorrow.”

亮点原创 Robots doing chores is 1 new, with Tesla having put forward its cool Optimus robot and DeepMind showing its latest 2 in robotics.
A robot called Mobile ALOHA 3 the attention of many people at the beginning of 2024, with short videos of it cooking at someone's home going viral(走红) in January.
4 by a team of scientists at Stanford University in the USA, the robot can cook a dish all by itself, 5 it is chopping(切) vegetables or cracking(打) eggs. It's also good at doing other tasks in homes like watering plants, petting cats, cleaning the floor and doing laundry(洗衣服). It even knows to shake the pillow 6 putting on a pillowcase(枕头套). An internet user joked about the video saying that as long as this thing doesn't try to kill him while he is 7, he is in real need of it.
8, Tony Z. Zhao, one of the researchers, posted a video later showing Mobile ALOHA's failures. In it, Mobile ALOHA broke glasses and plates, collided(碰撞) with tables and even burned a pot from time to time.
It turns out that Mobile ALOHA is not a complete self-learning system that can independently move around and finish tasks in 9 places. It needs to watch human operators doing the things in its surroundings(周围环境) first, meaning that the robot learns from human behaviour before 10 each task.
