Over the course of five days, more than 2,000 robots competed simultaneously, and multiple tournament records were updated... On the evening of August 26, the second World Man-made Robot Games came to a close. 666 teams from 16 countries, 2,056 robotics athletes from all over the world, played a total of 51 events, dedicated to 1,301 great matches, ignited a roller coaster that belongs to tech sports.
At the closing ceremony, the winners of the competitions gathered together and celebrated. Each breakthrough and harvest saved a lot of energy for the robotics movement and laid the foundation for the development of the industry.
In August 2027, the third World Human Robot Games will come together in Beijing and continue to write a whole new chapter on the intersection of technology and sports.

Record-breaking athletics track and field and athletics
At the closing ceremony, when the winners of the competitive athletics program gathered, the atmosphere on the ground was heated. During the five-day race, the world witnessed the group of cycling gymnasts continuously breaking boundaries and achieving great results.
In this event, multiple achievements have been achieved: the 400m jump from the previous 1 minute 28 seconds 03 to 45 seconds 66 in the current small group, 38 seconds 15 in the large group; the 1500m jump from the previous 6 minutes 34 seconds 40 to 2 minutes 21 seconds 64; the original jump from the previous 0.95641m to 3.40m, all breaking the event record!
In addition to athletics, in football, gymnastics, weightlifting, street dancing, sports dancing, martial arts, water skiing, throwing, table tennis, freestyle wrestling, and so on, humanoid robots also show a similar charm, giving viewers a glimpse of happiness.
The ultimate meaning of technology is to achieve the blending of intelligence and good life. On the pitch of a stage race, robots interpret this core with intelligent services. Going into factories to transport supplies, going into hotels to clean rooms, going into supermarkets to pick up supplies, going into emergency situations on the scene, practicing on stage, showing the temperature that technology enables life.
The competition is not the end, but the starting point. Behind each race is a challenge from a real production life scenario. The birth of each medal marks the human robot's move towards a practical game. Testing on demand is the primary mission of the competition.

Open data inclusion industry Production research and development partnership for the future
Another valuable achievement left on the field at this special moment in the closing ceremony unveiled the world's leading enterprises, including the Seidi Institute, the Neto Group, the Beijing Center for Human Robot Innovation, Shanghai Qiyuan, Galaxy General, Universal Millennium, and StarTimes, which jointly released a comprehensive collection of data on the world's first world-class Human Robot Games.
This set of data collects over 2,500 hours of mass real-world scenario operation data collected by multiple agencies during training and formal competitions. The data types include industrial, commercial, catering, office, family, fire rescue, hotels, libraries, gardens, charging new energy vehicles, and more than a dozen detailed tasks.
One person goes fast, a group goes far. This set of data will be open to society free of charge through the organizing committee, providing data support to more businesses, research institutions and universities, effectively reducing the cost of real-time data collection, so that more teams do not have to start from scratch.
The five major unveiling projects: multi-mode perception on the edge, high-speed stable wireless communications, collaboration between arms and hands, model resistance to interference and generalization in complex environments, real-time precision intelligent electronic arbitration systems, are aimed at inviting global efforts to bring together production research and development forces.

Inheritance of the Creative Fire of Intelligent Thinking: The Results of Educating People
At the closing ceremony, the symbol of the human-robot world's sacred torch symbolizes the moment of storage. It carries the glory of the event, the spirit imprint of the Torch Games and the video data of the event, the continuation of the human machine coexistence, the belief in science and dreams.
The tournament has fallen behind the scenes, and innovation never stops. On-site, the launch of a campus robotics event officially transforms the tournament's resources into innovation teaching energy, allowing the value of the tournament to continue to extend to the education sector.
Beijing Robot Leasing Company will donate 100 robots. As planned, some of robots will be deployed to the race training base for teaching and post-race training. The rest will be coordinated by the education authority, donated directly to the relevant schools, replenished post-race teaching training resources, and provided support for school robotics education and innovation practices.
At the National Speed Skating Hall, the NTO Group will also build a new 3,000-square-metre scenic training base to provide a standardized training environment for businesses and research institutes. Construction is expected to be completed by the end of this year and open to the whole society free of charge.
We are focused on real-world application scenarios in areas such as production, manufacturing, life services, special operations, and combined with the collection of results, upgrading the race training base. According to the relevant officials of the Hubei Group, the base will implement unified planning, digital management, and provide a real, efficient, safe and traceable training environment for teams and enterprises.
In August 2027, the third World Games of Human Robots will be held in Beijing to empower the industry to innovate in the field of athletics and take part in the new journey of human robot development.
