radar.am The World Games for humanoid robots have kicked off in Beijing. China has made unprecedented progress in this field, transforming robotics into a strategic priority and a source of national pride with the support of President Xi Jinping.
The sector's exponential development became evident in 2026 when the Chinese company Honor's "Flash" robot autonomously ran a half marathon in 50 minutes and 26 seconds, surpassing the human world record by nearly 7 minutes.
This year's games feature a major innovation: testing the precision of robot hands through tasks such as tightening screws, opening bottles, and grasping delicate items. Experts believe this is the most complex engineering challenge for applying robots in real-world work.
