China has established itself as a leader in robotics production, installing over 276,000 robots in various industries between 2022 and 2023. The first "Robot Olympics" is taking place in Beijing, featuring competitive events such as kickboxing and soccer, showcasing the capabilities of these robots. While some robots faced challenges, like a head detaching during a race or collisions during soccer, others were supported by their human handlers. The event consists of 280 teams from 16 countries, providing a platform for engineers to test new technologies in a competitive environment.
In the past few decades, China has rapidly transitioned from one of the poorest nations on Earth to the global kingpin in robotics production.
Between 2022 and 2023, the People's Republic installed over 276,000 robots throughout various industries, more than every other country on Earth combined.
The machines are descending on Beijing this week, flocking from all corners of the world to take part in kickboxing, track, football, table tennis, and dance competitions in what's being called the world's first 'Robot Olympics.'
You can test a lot of interesting new and exciting approaches in this contest," Max Polter, a robotics programmer from Germany, said.
