World's first humanoid robot games begin in China

The world's first-ever humanoid robot games begin in Beijing, with over 500 androids alternating between jerky tumbles and glimpses of real power as they compete in events from the 100-metre hurdles to kung fu.

Hundreds of robotics teams from 16 countries are going for gold at the Chinese capital's National Speed Skating Oval, built for the 2022 Winter Olympics.  Events include traditional sports like athletics and basketball, as well as practical tasks such as medicine categorisation and cleaning.
