The reporter learned from the press conference of the 2026 Beijing Yizhuang Humanoid Robot Half Marathon on the 25th that the 2026 Humanoid Robot Half Marathon is scheduled to start shooting at 7:30 am on April 19, 2026. The Beijing Yizhuang Half Marathon will be held on the same day, using the "human-machine co running" mode. The event will undergo a comprehensive upgrade and the first "robot service officer" will be established to present the public with a future feast that integrates technology empowerment, ecological integration, and sports competition. It is reported that the theme of this competition is "Horse First", where human athletes and humanoid robots start simultaneously, share the same track, and are separated by iron horse fences or green belts. Among them, the humanoid robot half marathon sets up an autonomous navigation group and a remote control group, uses a mixed timing method to compete on the same field, innovatively adds special awards such as "Best Endurance Award", "Most Beautiful Gait Award", "Best Design Award", "Best Perception Award", and holds a new competition at the same time - the Robot Batulu Challenge. Various services such as robot cheerleading, route guidance, garbage collection, and interactive performances will be provided along the track to help robots upgrade from "event tools" to "service partners". Beijing has guided the direction of robot product innovation through multiple key activities for humanoid robots. The reporter learned that the first humanoid robot half marathon and humanoid robot sports meet to be held in Beijing in 2025 will promote related enterprises to accelerate the resolution of joint stability and other issues, and accelerate the formation of innovative results such as battery quick change, ultra long distance stable running algorithm, and group collaborative control.
