China's first-ever World Humanoid Robot Olympics showcased both the impressive advances and current limitations of robotics technology. Over 280 teams from 16 countries competed in events ranging from sprinting to practical tasks like sorting medicine. While some robots impressed with speeds reaching 10 mph, others stumbled or took comically long times to complete simple tasks. But don't be fooled by these awkward early performances - this competition represents a watershed moment in robotics development, allowing researchers to stress-test designs and learn from failures. China has declared its intention to lead the world in humanoid robots by 2027, and after seeing the global competition up close, they may achieve that goal sooner than we expect.
