Box, run, crash: China’s humanoid robot games show advances and limitations

The World Humanoid Robot Games in Beijing showcased China's advancements in robotics, but also highlighted the limitations of current humanoid robots. The competition featured robots attempting martial arts moves, with mixed results – some successful attacks, but also clumsy falls. Observers noted that while the event was meant to showcase China's prowess in robotics, there are still challenges in real-world application of these technologies. The robots faced issues with balance, battery life, and a lack of "philosophical purpose." The event underscored the progress made in humanoid robotics, but also the need for further development to overcome practical limitations before widespread adoption.
