Watch as bungling bots compete in first World Robot Games – & show humanoids aren’t ready for world domination just yet
The very first Olympics robot started – with images of jostling droids showing that they may not yet be ready for world domination.
The three -day event, which takes place in China, will see robots with 280 teams from 16 different countries will compete on a range of sporting events.

Robots AI should compete in a range of competitions such as football, athletics, boxing and table tennis.
Robot -specific games should also take place – with competitions ranging from the sorting of medicines to the handling of materials to cleaning services.
But human athletes can remain easily – images of Games Show that there are some faults that must be calculated.
During one of the first events, a five -year football match, 10 robots the size of seven years – the ends waded up, hitting frequently.
Storage images have shown that small bots intervene in the field, with a view by slowly striking at the back of the net.
In athletics, a Robo-Racer entered directly into a human operator who was struck on the ground.
Images have also shown a racing humanoid near the finish line on a race – before tripping at the last moment.
Participating robots represent countries, including the United States, Germany and Brazil, among others.
There are 192 universities that participated in the revolutionary competition.
Beginning in the Chinese capital, games include 500 Androids.
And although some have been laughed with sudden calculations and jerky movements, some of the bots showed real force.
The member of the HTWK robot football team, Max Polter, affiliated to the University of Applied Sciences in Leipzig, said: “We come here to play and win. But we are also interested in research.
“You can test a lot of interesting new and exciting approaches in this competition.”
He added: “If we try something and it doesn’t work, we lose the game.
“It’s sad, but it’s better than investing a lot of money in a product that failed.”
Games spectators paid between $ 17.83 and $ 80.77 for tickets.

In a 1,500 -meter race, the humanoid runners of the Domestic Champion UniLee have effortlessly exceeded their rivals.
The fastest robot ended in 6:29:37, AFP reported.
For comparison, the fastest human record for the same race is 3:26:00.
The government of the city of Beijing is one of the major game donors – a symbol of the quantity of China is investing in robots and AI.
The push occurs while the country faces an aging population and slows growth.
China has deployed robot events that have repercussions, including the first humanoid marath in the world in Beijing earlier this year.
The historic competitive race between man and the bot saw 21 layers of humanoid robots alongside 12,000 runners around the 13 -thousand course.
The organizers said that new games offer precious data collection opportunities to develop robots for practical applications such as factory work.
Football matches can help train robot coordination capacity, which could be useful for automated operations of mounting channels in factories, analysts said.
