Asia Techonomics: Chinas humanoide Roboter scheitern am Alltag – noch

In recent days, China's humanoid robots have once again captured headlines, outpacing even Olympic sprinter Usain Bolt. Over 2000 human-like machines participated in over 60 disciplines at the Robot World Championships in Beijing, held at the Olympic Speed Skating Stadium. While they broke the world record for the human quickest 100-meter sprint, they struggled in other sports.

Robo-kickers on the football field appeared almost headless, disappearing into thin air or running away from the ball. On the tennis court, surprisingly many ball changes occurred, even in mixed doubles with teams of humans and robots. China's robot achievements have received global attention, but despite significant progress in artificial intelligence, humanoid robots remain far from widespread use, even though social media videos sometimes suggest otherwise.
