“Olympic Olympics” in Beijing stops and operates (and its fall)

China has just turned a pair of Olympic places into a robot court.

Human robot games in the opening world were opened from 15 to 17 August, on Friday Football, enemy, kickboxing and table tennisAs well as a healthy number of facial factories. Games feature 280 teams of robots from 16 countries and hundreds of expensive robots competing for medals and anything that passes for the rights of bragging for robots.

The events between the features of the Winter Olympic Games 2022: the National Stadium in China and the oval car for the national speed. On the schedule: track and field, football (football for Americans), table tennis, “scenario” experiences such as medicine sorting, cleaning and industrial treatment services-the type of practical skills that robot makers are already interested in.

The prominent virginity has revealed more chaos than control: robots colliding in the middle of the match, running in the middle of the road, and Kickbox needs to restart. But there were luminous spots, too. Some robots appeared to their feet without help until the completion of the average distance while the therapists blow behind them. There was even a 1500 -meter race. Tickets ran 128-580 yuan (about $ 18 to $ 81).

Robot athletes are provided with a group of academic and industry, including Unitree China And Furieh, with teams also from the United States, Germany, Brazil, Japan and more. Organizers attend the weekend as collecting data under pressure, as sports force robots to show balance and vision and make decisions, all of which will be translated later into robot work in factories and logistical services and as assistants of the home.

China uses games to display its bet on the embodied artificial intelligence – programs associated with machines that can move in human spaces. The country has poured billions of dollars in robots Planning for the 1 trillion yuan (about 137 billion dollars) fund for startups As part of a batch to counter the crisis of the advanced forces and compete in advanced manufacturing.

The rules differ according to the event, but the organizers say that the competitions extend to independent control and distant operation: in both cases, “players exchanges” are not allowed in the middle of the match for fresh robots. This means a lot of stress tests on robot batteries, heat management and healing behaviors in the actual time.

The event continues until August 17.
