It seems that twenty -one Chinese robots competing together with human beings in a half -marathon in Beijing on Saturday that could not beat serious runners, but some can be eligible for participation trophies.
The event, organized by the city’s city technological center, had a winning robot called Tiangong Ultra among its Android competitors. The race ended in two hours and forty minutes, which would be a respectable moment for a human.

However, the winner of the event, a human being, recorded an hour and two minutes. The career enthusiasts say that casual event corridors generally run the race below two hours, a technological publication reported.
The fastest metal marathon also needed some meat and blood aid. A man ran in front of him with a signaling device on his back, which led the robot to imitate his movements. In fact, TC Tech Crunch explained that most of the bots were controlled at a distance, with human operators who accompanied a topic.
Chinese companies and student groups built robots. It did not go well or finished. Only four were able to end in the cutting time of four hours. A robot fell into the exit line. Another stumbled upon a human support corridor and then crashed into a fence and broke into metal remains.
Duration of the race, a robot called Little Giant, the competitor shorts shorter to 30 inches, stopped when the smoke emerged from his head.
The courses and rules of the race prevented collisions or interference with the 12,000 real runners in the event. It was required that the robots had a humanoid appearance and ran vertically. They had to compete in a fenced lane. They also had to leave in staggered times to reduce the possibility that they would collide with each other.
Just when human runners needed to be held with water, Robot’s “contestants” were allowed to obtain new batteries that give the race. The winner needed three changes in the battery, according to a report.
Tiangong Ultra, created by the Beijing Humanoid Robot Innovation Center, was able to overcome his android classmates because or his “long legs and an algorithm that allowed him that IMIA Human executes a marathon,” said Tang technology director.
