Videos of humanoid robots are actively circulating on social media, showing them colliding with a wall and falling to the ground while moving at high speed on a treadmill.
These footage belongs to the World Humanoid Robot Games, also known as the Robot Olympics. During this competition, one of the robots, running on the track at high speed, was involved in an accident.
The Robot Olympics is scheduled to begin on August 22nd and will take place in Beijing, China. The video of the incident was filmed during preliminary tests before the main event.
Not only this case attracted internet attention; many other videos from the Robot Olympics have also gone viral. Other recordings show a robot that, after falling to the ground, lost control and began moving its limbs.
Another video published by a person from China shows a robot running on a treadmill, but instead of turning, it heads straight for the wall. After this, the robot becomes confused and falls, preventing injury to a nearby person.
Many companies are participating in the Robot Olympics, starting in China on August 22nd. These companies represent both China and various other regions, striving to demonstrate the capabilities of their robots.
Previously, photos of football matches between humanoid robots from China appeared, where the robots competed in football. Footage was also seen of an injured robot being carried off the field.
