Look at this thing go! 100-meter obstacle course final at the 2026 World Humanoid Robot Games

Bro even had time to fix his hair after going down the steps.

Are we pretending this is not happening throughout many other events?

Teleoperation is intent-level, not joint-level. The human steers or gives high-level skill commands. A learned controller closes the loop on low-level dynamics at 50 to 200 Hz, way faster than human reaction time.

All the people in the comments who are saying this is preprogrammed have no clue what programming even means...

I’ve got a very bad feeling about this…

I wish they would televise the entire games here in the UK rather than just seeing snippets on the news or having to look it up on YouTube. This is brilliant. It's also funny. I can watch this all day long. 🤣😀

that's an Agibot X1!

Waiting for the first robot to blame the referee.

Anyone laughing at this, or the staccato progress of these humanoid robots, bear this in mind: It took our human ancestors around 4 to 6 million years to transition to full, efficient upright walking on two legs after our earliest primate ancestors first moved on all fours.

So many halfwits in this thread that the robots deserve to take over. THIS IS RESEARCH, sparkies! We're a few years from the real results, and by then AI+robotics will have put you all out of work.

Progress is crazy fast! Last year they were still stumbling, this year they’re clearing obstacles smoothly.

He did the Terminator crawl to the end!

Bro got megaman feet

日本大丈夫か❓見るたびに進化する中華ロボ🤖

Realize you're watching The equivalent of atomic bomb testing. This is one of the most terrifying things you can see. It's only downhill from here..

AGIBOT came to compete, and yes, took the gold. 🥇🔥

🔥

Bro stand, you're out of the tunnel 🤣

His number is 006. Bot. James Bot. One more upgrade and it’s licensed to kill. 😂

seems like Atlas would smoke this

How far away are we from these things getting mass-deployed on the battlefield? Feels like 2 years max.

How could it be like this a year later？

obstacle course is where the real test begins

If it's remote controlled, it's a toy, not a robot.

China is years ahead in robotics

While the world is burning, China is living in its own 2077 world making Robot Olympics, having affordable housing and cheap food.

Watch how this humanoid moves. Today, it’s running a 100-meter obstacle course. The next time we see robots moving like this, it may not be in a stadium. It may be in the ruins of an earthquake, a collapsed building, a wildfire zone—or on a battlefield. The same technology that can go where humans cannot and save lives can also be used to take them. The robot won’t decide which future we choose. We will.

humans should ban this

impressive. this one is not on autopilot i assume

Haha, it crawled all the way to the end. Way faster than having to stand up and run.

@DouglasThorne10 😳 this is far more impressive than just the 100m sprint clips I've seen

If the world ever gets painted yellow and runs at half speed, we're in trouble.

Optimus team has their hands full. Expecting great things at the V3 unveil @Tesla_Optimus!

切なくて愛おしい☀️

They always look like drunk humans. Which actually is an interesting idea. Why don’t we have drunk humans games! Obstacle courses, athletics, boxing, the possibilities are endless. Every competitor completely tanked! 🥴

These robot competitions are so entertaining: this part really made me laugh - any human would have gotten up, but it just kept crawling toward the finish line.😂
