In a unique event, humanoid robots participated in a half marathon in Beijing, attracting attention despite their poor performance compared to human runners. Many robots struggled to maintain a consistent pace, fell over, or overheated during the race. They were kept separated from human runners for safety, with humorous pit stops for battery swaps instead of refreshments. Notably, the Sky Project Ultra finished as the top robot with a time of just over two hours and 40 minutes, earning a medal, albeit much slower than the fastest human runners.
