Tech:  Imagine  Humans are running in the field, sweating, and a machine is running with them ... Yes, such a scene was seen in Beijing, the capital of China, where for the first time a half marathon race was held between humans and robots. And surprisingly, the winner of this unique race is not a human being but a robot - this smart humanoid machine named 'Tipun Kung' first crossed the finish line, surprising everyone.

21 km challenge, and wins in 2 hours 40 minutes

'Tipun Kung', who participated in this historic race, completed a long distance of 21 km in 2 hours 40 minutes. While this time is considered an average for humans, it is a very big achievement for a robot. Tipun Kung did not stop during the entire race, nor did he complete a straight and balanced race.

When robots also slipped, and humans also fell

Although 'Tipun Kung' did wonders, not every robot turned out to be so capable. Many robots participating in the race fell while running. One, near the starting line, fell and could not get up again. The woman operator standing nearby also fell on the ground due to the fall of a robot. This scene was also exciting and sometimes humorous when a robot was seen moving round.

How are these 'running robots' ready

These were no common machines. These robots have been developed by major technical companies of China. These include artificial intelligence, sensor technology, and an amazing confluence of humanoid structure. They can not only walk, but can run while maintaining balance - although the possibility of falling still remains.

Separate track for humans, so that it does not collide

The organizers had created separate lanes for humans and robots in view of security. Although there was a sense of competition in the race, the organizers had the first objective - technical performance and security. This was the reason that the two classes were kept separate.

Unique clash between 20 robot teams

A total of 20 robotic teams participated in this historic race. Each team entered the field with their own smart machines. As time passed, enthusiasm in the field increased. Amid the applause of the audience and surprise, these robots tried to complete the race in their own way-some were successful, some were falter.

 New Chapter of Technology: Runs Future

The event was not just a race, it was a glimpse of the future. Where robots are not only limited to assembly line or research lab, but have now stepped into the world of sports. Tipun Kung's victory is a symbol - the beginning of the era, where humans and machines will run by step by step, not shoulder to shoulder.
