Create a new history in human-machine racing - The humanoid robot marathon witnesses China's future industrial development path
"Finished in 50 minutes and 26 seconds!" On the 19th, as the organizers announced the results, in the 2026 Beijing Yizhuang Half Marathon and Humanoid Robot Half Marathon event, the "Lightning" robot from the Qitian Taisheng team of Shenzhen Glory Intelligent Technology Development Co., Ltd. won the championship with a net time of 50 minutes and 26 seconds. This time exceeded the human men's half marathon record of 57 minutes and 20 seconds, setting a new record in human-machine racing.
Where does the confidence of humanoid robots to run independently and break records come from? How will this extreme event drive the industry to leap forward? Looking to the future, where will robots head?
After a year of pause, this event has resumed and undergone a comprehensive upgrade. It is not only a practical test for China's humanoid robot industry, but also a demonstration of the concept of human-machine symbiosis through innovative practices, highlighting the responsibility and commitment of a major country in promoting scientific and technological innovation and sharing. It has also illuminated the direction for future industrial development.
