- Liang Liang, a Beijing technology official, expects humanoid robots to increase productivity rather than cause mass unemployment.
- According to him, robots should handle dangerous or mundane tasks and continue working when people need rest at night.
- At last month’s inaugural robot half-marathon in Beijing, 20 teams each operated a robot on a separate track.
- Tiangong Ultra won the competition and reaches 12 kph; other prototypes corrected tasks after encountering obstacles or changes.
"We don't believe robots will make people unemployed, but rather they'll boost efficiency or take on tasks humans are unwilling to do - like exploring the vast universe or the ocean depths where people can't go. Machines can assist us in that exploration," Liang said.— Liang Liang, deputy director at the Beijing Economic-Technological Development Area's X-Humanoid centre, in an interview with foreign media.

- Only six out of 21 humanoid robots finished the race, highlighting the challenges faced in robotics.
- The fastest robot, Tiangong Ultra, completed the course in 2 hours and 40 minutes, barely qualifying for a human participation award.
- Most robots experienced falls and overheating, requiring constant assistance from their human operators.
- The event underscored both the advancements and limitations of humanoid robotics in China, with a focus on entertainment rather than practical applications.
The impressive thing about going from a 5k to a half marathon is really a hardware robustness problem.— Alan Fern, a robotics professor at Oregon State University, explains the challenges in developing humanoid robots.
