Sharjah24 - WAM: Beijing will host the 2025 World Humanoid Robot Games from August 15 to 17, city officials announced on Wednesday, marking a significant step in the integration of robotics into real-world applications.
According to China Daily, this competition, part of the 2025 World Robot Conference, will be the first global sporting event dedicated solely to humanoid robots.
The games will feature 19 events across three main categories: athletic competitions, performance showcases, and scenario-based challenges, all aimed at testing the robots' agility, coordination, and practical skills.
Athletic events will mimic traditional human sports, including sprints, long jumps, gymnastics, and small-team soccer matches. Performance events will showcase solo and group robot dances, while scenario-based challenges will simulate tasks in hospitals, industrial settings, and hospitality, such as drug sorting, material handling, and concierge services.
Additionally, three "peripheral events" will include non-humanoid robots competing in basketball, table tennis, and badminton, adding an interactive and entertaining aspect to the program.
Organisers aim to showcase the latest advancements in robotics while promoting broader applications in daily life and encouraging technological progress in fields like artificial intelligence, mechanical engineering, and sensor design.
