① The 2025 Beijing Yizhuang Half Marathon and the world's first human-robot half marathon took place on April 19 in Beijing. The event had 21 teams of human-shaped robots. This new competition attracted millions of people to watch because it brought advanced technology (先进的科技) and sports together.
② The best part of the event was the “TianGong Ultra”, which finished the race in 2 hours, 40 minutes, and 42 seconds, winning first place. TianGong Ultra is about 1.8 metres tall and weighs 55 kilograms. This year, its speed went from 6 km/h to a top speed of 12 km/h, because of a smart platform (平台) called “Hui Si Kai Wu”. This smart platform lets the robot do many tasks more cleverly and quickly.
③ To get ready for the marathon, the team solved problems like making robots light, staying steady (平稳), and controlling heat during long runs. They have also improved how robots move and get used to different roads. During the race, TianGong Ultra kept a speed of 7 to 8 km/h, showing its great ability to keep going.
④ The half marathon course needed the robots to make about 250,000 joint movements, testing their balance, heat control, and energy use. This race not only tested the robots but also helped developers (开发者) find things needed to be better. The competition wanted to show the robots' abilities and encourage more new ideas in robot technology.
⑤ Xiong Youjun, the head of the Beijing Human-like Robot Innovation Centre, talked about the importance of this competition for testing the robots' skills in real situations (情况). It helps make a way for future uses in factories and daily life. He thinks this event is a big step for how humans and robots interact (交互), showing how robots can live and work with humans.
⑥ In a word, this event was a big step forward in the development of human-shaped robots and what they can do for human's life. This marathon is just the start of a new time in robotics, where humans and robots work together for a better future. The event has made people excited and curious about what the future of robots will bring.
