The inaugural World Humanoid Robot Games were held in Beijing from August 14 to 17, 2025, at the National Speed Skating Oval, also known as the Ice Ribbon. The event featured around 280 teams representing 16 countries and regions, with over 500 humanoid robots competing in 487 matches across 26 events, including track and field, soccer, kickboxing, gymnastics, and other skill-based competitions. China's Unitree Robotics emerged as the dominant competitor, securing four gold medals in the 1500-meter race, 400-meter race, 100-meter obstacle course, and 4×100-meter relay. Unitree's H1 robot set a record in the 1500-meter dash with a time of 6 minutes 34 seconds and achieved top speeds of 4.78 meters per second during the competition, with internal tests exceeding 5 meters per second. Another China-made robot won the 100-meter dash in 21.50 seconds. The soccer finals saw Tsinghua University's Huosheng Team and China Agricultural University's Shanhai Team win the 5v5 and 3v3 championships, respectively. The games showcased the current capabilities and limitations of humanoid robots, featuring impressive feats such as acrobatic gymnastics gold medal performances and high kicks and punches in kickboxing matches. Despite some falls and technical mishaps, the event highlighted China's advancements in AI and robotics, reinforcing its growing influence in the global tech landscape. The competition also served as a platform for international exchange on cutting-edge robotics and AI technologies.
