Before the half marathon even starts, these robots already went through a full obstacle test in Beijing today. 🤖 The April 18 Warrior Challenge wasn’t about speed. It was a structured test of real-world capability under defined rules. The event was split into four categories: general obstacles, humanoid-only events, quadruped-only events, and a final challenge. In total, there were 17 tasks — including narrow bridges, flood-control building, climbing, and balance tests. All designed to evaluate terrain adaptation, manipulation, and task execution. Teams were also divided into remote-control and fully autonomous groups. That distinction matters — finishing a task is one thing, doing it without human input is another. The half marathon tomorrow will test endurance and pace over 21.0975 km. Today was about whether these systems can handle structured, real-world scenarios first.
