April 16, 2025 Beijing Yizhuang, according to TechCrunch Daily.Humanoid Robothalf marathonIt's just around the corner, and according to the rules of the tournament, if the robotNo change of power at the refill stationorChanging robots in the middle of a match, will also face time penalties.
Wang Guolin, deputy head of the competition team, said that the competition was held using theIntegrated approach to timekeepingCalculate the final scores of the participating teams by puttingStarting from and arriving at the starting pointtime, andPenalty time for possible violationsAdded together, the combined scores are used as the final score. "This could lead to a situation where the first robot to reach the finish line may not have a final score of first place."
The 2025 Beijing Yizhuang Half Marathon and Humanoid Robot Half Marathon, originally scheduled for April 13, 2025, has been postponed to April 19th.
As summarized in 1AI's previous reports.The starting point of this humanoid robot half marathon is located in the South Square of Nanhaizi Park Phase I, and the finishing point is located in Tongming Lake National Xinchuang Park.The principle of "synchronized registration, the same track and the same start" is adopted for the robot and the athletes. The humanoid robot will start with the athletes at the same time in the starting point gun start, running the same route, but has a separate track, the entire use of iron horse isolation or green belt isolation to ensure the safety of man and machine.
Based on the study, the closing time of the robot is set to be around 3 hours and 30 minutes for this event. During the course of the competition, the robot can change batteries, or change robots to participate in the whole competition in the form of a relay. Based on the overall evaluation of the finish time and the number of times the robot is replaced during the competition, a 10-minute penalty is applied for each time the robot is replaced during the competition.
The tournament is set up for the first, second and third place winners, with prizes of $5,000, $4,000 and $3,000 respectively.The team also set up a series of awards such as Finisher Award, Best Endurance Award, Best Popularity Award, Best Gait Award, Best Morphological Creativity Award, etc. Meanwhile, awards were prepared for the humanoid robot R&D team to express the recognition and encouragement for the hard work of the innovative R&D team.
To complete the 21-kilometer half-marathon, basically every robot has to perform several power-swapping operations along the way. Each team has its own safeguard team for safeguarding.
