December 26, atBeijingAt a press conference organized by the Municipal Press Office, the Beijing Economic and Technology Development Zone (Beijing also) announced that it would be held on 19 April 2026Humanoid RobotHalfwaymarathon (loanword)And Beijing is a half-way marathon. The race is a human raceHuman racers and human robots run together and share the same track.

Liang, Deputy Director of the Regional Commission for the Development of Economics and Technology in Beijing, introduced the theme of the event, which was "Ema first"The starting point is the 17th Kosheng Street, located in Beijing, on the edge of Lake Ming, which ends at South Sea Park, 21.0975 km longThe course integrates the urban main lanes, the international auto segment and the park's ecological landscape, connects hard-tech nuclear blocks and natural ecological spaces, provides a real, multi-dimensional and complex operational environment for robots, comprehensively examines their adaptation and decision-making capabilities in open scenes, and promotes the critical leap of human robots from “telecontrol” to “autonomy”。
The races set up autonomous navigation and remote control groups, using a mix of time-times approach to the same trackThe SNSBs have a net number of hours plus a fine, and the remote control team has been set to double the net number of times a factor of 1.2 plus a penalty as a finalI don't know. At the same time, there is a strict requirement that remote navigation operators do not need to get off the bus, eliminate their presence, encourage and direct more teams at the regulatory level to complete their own games, and promote robotic breakthroughs in such core capabilities as environmental awareness, real-time decision-making and sustainable stabilization。
The competition was also innovative in adding special awards such as the Best Success Award, the Best Design Award, and the Best Sensory Award, to guide robots to technological breakthroughs in long-duration, humanization and dynamic environmental adaptation. In order to set up a global, fully-owned technology pole, the organizing committee will be fully autonomous in the completion of a half-way marathonHelping to declare the Guinness world record.
At the same time, the competition was upgraded from a single-speed model last year to a two-track model of “pacing + scenario challenges”, with a robotic half-way marathon to be held during the same period。The robot Batulu Challenge is about emergency reliefThrough the construction of a specialized outdoor training platform that integrates three main functions: technical hands-on training, preparation for competitions, and the popularization of science and technology, the systematic testing of robotics for autonomous decision-making, precision manipulation and continuity of operations in real and complex environments provides a critical validation platform for human robots to move towards a diverse and authentic application。
This is the dayThe race is officially openThe Global Innovation Team can register through a network of “also competing” competitions or a “Beijing’s half-way marathon” micro-inform public。
In 2026, Beijing will also upgrade its service safeguard, building on last year's successful practice, by innovating the role of “robots waiter” to provide a variety of services along the track, such as robot cheerleaders, route guides, garbage pick-up, performance interaction, etc., to promote the upgrading of its role as a service partner。At the same time, the organizing committee has openly solicited from society a wide range of smart robots that can be used for marathon services, invites the active participation of robotic teams that have the capacity to operate autonomously and can stabilize in complex outdoor environments。
1AI inquiries revealed that 2025 Beijing ' s human robot half-way Marathon race, with the "Oltra" from Beijing ' s Zhangzhou, won the crown with a score of 2:40 minutes and 42 seconds. The 1/2-metre-high Zone N2 team received the army, and the Shanghai-based Robobat II team received the army。
