  It's the first time in the history of the world.

The 2026 World Robot Games champion has just been born!

Chiang Kai-shek (AGIBOT) made his first appearance and won first place with 18 gold, 16 silver and 12 bronze medals.

18 gold, 16 silver, 12 bronze and 46 medals in total.

For the first time in his career, he rose to the top of both the Gold and Medal charts.

In 16 countries, 666 teams and 2,056 robots competing on the same stage, the Chiang Kai-shek robot, relying on its unmatched strength, will sweep the entire field.

What's even more shocking than this is the fact that it's easy to overlook that all the competitive models sent out by Liu Xiaobo are mass-produced!

The entire game, all the Chiyo robots competing, were zero modification, no special edition, no customized samples.

What's even more surprising is that robots that were killing everyone on the field -- the A3 Expedition, the G2 Elf, the X2 Elf, and robots that were working in the Dragon Flag Factory -- were exactly the same.

In Xi'an's own words, it's the real "wearing a badge, winning a gold medal".

图片

This is truly the "first" with a commercial landing reference value!

图片He's a good hand, and he packs seven golds.

This year's elite handball competition won a total of eight gold medals.

As a result, the mass-produced version of OmniHand sent out at the critical point, took a breath of fresh air, and almost made it to the box office.

Look closely, it took the first of these projects and it was a hell of a lot of hard work.

The "powder weighting" test is extremely fine micromanaging.

In the face of extremely light powder, OmniHand is able to precisely control the angle and intensity of pouring, like an experienced teacher's hammer, and hold the millimeter tightly.

图片

In the "open bottle cap" link, it instantly switches patterns, not only to have enough power, but also to know how to look for points at the touch of the moment, explode accidentally, and the whole action is blown away.

图片

In the case of "disassembly" and "building of blocks", the robot's flexible operation, spatial perception, and precise logic are subject to almost constant demands.

图片图片

The result was unexpected: Not only was OmniHand able to gently remove the packaging without damaging the interior, but it was also able to quickly identify the shape of the blocks and build a solid tower!

In these multi-dimensional explorations, OmniHand has taken a cliff-edge lead.

The secret behind this is not only the stability and reliability of the hardware, but also the fact that it is a skilled "AI Ready".

In the past, traditional mechanics relied entirely on pre-written code. But OmniHand relied on a clever "brain".

At its critical point, it has developed its own "DUET dual-layer, physically and physically accessible intelligent architecture".

It's like the junction of the human brain and fingertip nerves. The outer layer is responsible for "posture control", which lets the hand know how to stretch and adjust angles; the inner layer is responsible for "touch control", which gives the mechanical hand a "touch sensation" similar to human skin.

He's a talented performer, and he's a great performer.

When the OmniHand touches an object, it is able to perceive the softness, texture and sliding trends of the object and can manipulate the grip dynamically through AI algorithms in milliseconds.

This powerful model is robust enough to allow OmniHand to complete complex challenges entirely autonomously without human remote control.

That's why OmniHand is able to demonstrate its incredible "deployment mode" capabilities in fine-tuning.

It's not the act of grasping, it's the real understanding of the physical world!

It's a clever way to fix a nail.

Woolinger, Athletic Flyer: With an AI brain, machines have a "soul"

In dance, martial arts, ping-pong, and athletics, Chiyo Robot has completely unleashed "wildness".

In these projects, Chiu won 5 golds again!

Among them, the A3 Expedition is able to play a set of Tai Chi fighters with full body movement control.

图片

It's a national anthem, and it's also danced with great enthusiasm.

Chiu-young robots and the rainbow dancing scene

On the Ping-Pong circuit, it also plays back and forth with Olympic champion Ding-nin.

图片

Even in the face of a "double-machine" battle, the catching action is still a watershed moment.

图片

It can be said that it is not just "moving", but challenging the physical limits of humanoid robots: hollow jumps, large-angle transformations, long single-legged supports, and even a low-gravity posture that tests the core power!

图片图片In order to accomplish these movements, the ability to control full-body posture in real-time on a millisecond scale is required.

All of this is based on Chiu's self-developed exercise pre-training model and whole-body synchronous control algorithm.

Through the launch of the "Inspirational Platform" mass sports data, it has mastered general sports pioneering knowledge and, through its powerful Sim2Real capabilities, has migrated simulation training to robots.

In the field of athletics, X2 contributed even better.

In the 100m hurdles and 400m hurdles, the Rhino X2 won 1 gold, 1 silver and 1 bronze without any body modification.

In the face of irregular obstacles on the track, most of the participating robots remained at the stage of relying solely on "joint body perception", but X2 had "eyes" installed early on.

图片

Many of the previous robotics competitions have folded in this direction, but the X2 Rhinos are doing the same thing.

图片

Many robots have crashed at this link, even withdrawing directly from the game.

Behind this is the generated general-purpose micro-brain engine framework AGILE.

Powered by this powerful little brain, Rhino X2 controls the algorithm of reinforcement learning.

Not only is it capable of both speed and stability when crossing irregular obstacles, but it can also make autonomous or semi-autonomous instantaneous decisions in a variety of complex terrains.

What's more, through precise parameter recognition, Chiu has significantly narrowed the gap between virtual simulation and reality, ensuring that the algorithm is extremely robust in the game.

This is the real "soul" given to a robot by an AI brain!

The arena is the workplace, the scene racing 6 gold

If you think robots are just for winning prizes, you're wrong.

The scenery of the Games, the evaluated but realistic social functioning capabilities of librarianship, fire emergency extinguishers, organizing hotel rooms... all these human activities are really tedious.

As a result, out of the 12 gold medals in this block, G2 won six straight!

How hard is it to live in hotels and libraries?

Libraries are designed to identify books, to plan in order, to take them out with precision; to organize hotels, to process soft, unstable objects; to extinguish fires, to detect, move and operate in an unfamiliar environment.

In these real-life missions, the entire process gets stuck instantly if the robot doesn't understand the environment, can't plan long tasks, or is slightly out of hand.

And the real work is rarely just one move.

For example, in librarianship, the robot must first find the target book, judge the direction of the back of the book and pick up the location, then avoid the surrounding objects and send the book to the correct location. Any deviation in the middle, the subsequent actions must be adjusted.

图片

The hotel arranges the same problems, the shape of flexible objects such as towels and bedding changes with time, and traditional procedures are difficult to solve with fixed coordinates.

Firefighters are demanding that robots continue to move, identify, make decisions and operate in an open environment, and face sudden interference.

These projects, which don't seem to explode as fast as they do, are closer to the day-to-day work after robots actually enter society.

It is not uncommon for Xiaoyu to ask questions like these.

The competing G2 has already entered the real production lines of Dragon Flag Technology, Suzuki, and others.

Earlier, eight G2s covered the entire plate quality inspection process for six consecutive days at the company's flagship plant, completing multiple detections of multimedia interfaces, audio, radiation diffusion and fusion, producing more than 17,500 products, with an operational success rate of 99.99%.

It has already worked in factories before entering the Games.

In such an environment, a robot can accumulate a truly valuable "working age". These real deployments will in turn improve its stability in unfamiliar tasks.

The stadium has since become a high-density commercial preview.

Today we can organize hotels, house books, deal with emergencies, and tomorrow we will have real jobs in services, public spaces and special jobs.

Full-fledged technology from Xi'anAnd a brain with an AI.

All of these great achievements are ultimately the result of Intel's deep-rooted, all-encompassing technology, and the core spirit of the latter is a "brain with artificial intelligence".

He summed up his technical underpinnings in four words: "trinity": a reliable entity, combined with motor intelligence, interactive intelligence, and the three-tiered brain of functional intelligence.

The four limbs are developed and the mind is flexible, so you can say that it is necessary to be able to function properly.

In this competition, the three layers of the brain were examined.

Athletics obstacle racing, which focuses on sporting intelligence. Xiao installed "real eyes" on the Rhino X2 using a self-developed AGILE-generated micro brain engine.

It enables robots to make autonomous or semi-autonomous decisions in a variety of terrains - not only to run fast but also to walk steadily.

In terms of operational intelligence, Xiao built a powerful intelligent system based on the self-developed ViLLA body-based large model GO, the world model GE and the large-scale distributed RW-RL.

How tough this AI capability is, the third-party list has already filtered GE 2.0 to the top of WorldArena's global authority list!

图片

This means that robots are not executing dead procedures, but are able to autonomously perceive, understand the physical world, complete complex tasks in a closed loop in the real world, and even have the ability to rapidly generalize across bodies and small samples!

Additionally, at the interactive intelligence level, WITA-Omni Preview topped the DailyOmni comprehension chart with six firsts in eight segment indicators.

It integrates seeing, hearing, speaking, and moving into a continuous process, allowing robots to be an interactive partner with a sense of presence.

What's even more remarkable is that the smarter it is, the smarter it is.

Every thing that robots do on the production line, every thing that they do on the racetrack, becomes an automatic data backflow, handing it to the next generation of models.

He called it the "deployment mode data flyer", and the more he did, the more data he collected, the stronger the next version.

This is why it dares to let mass-produced machines directly into the arena: because these robots train day and night in the real world, the arena is just one of its many "jobsites".

The body is the carrier, and the brain is the winner.

The real champion of this sport is the AI brain that runs in the body of a robot, which is still evolving.

In the first place of the double list, the gold content is "mass production".

In short, the gold medal of this intelligent robot is extremely high.

This time around, 2,056 humanoid robots participated in Beijing's "Ice Belt", 51 events, 1301 matches, and all competitive projects except obstacle races required complete autonomy.

In terms of speed, 50 teams competed in this year's 100m hurdles and 37 failed to finish.

图片

Moreover, the amount of gold used in China is higher than the quantity produced in China.

The reason for this is simple: a custom sample machine can go around a project, pushing the speed, structure, and algorithm to the limit.

However, the constraints faced by mass-producing machines are far greater: cost controllability, structural stability, consistent parts, and high-intensity continuous operation.

Therefore, the performance of the mass-producing machine is even more significant: it verifies not only the performance limits in the laboratory, but also the product consistency, reliability and real delivery capability.

After reviewing the list of participants, many teams will change lighter covers, more expensive sensors, and special programs for a single event.

However, this is a far cry from real-world applications.

In this tournament, all of the competitors are mass-produced machines.

Expedition A3 mass-produced aircraft participated in more than martial arts and dance, Eleni G2 mass-produced aircraft participated in hotel organizing and library bookkeeping, Lin Rino X2 mass-produced aircraft participated in the 100 m hurdles race, OmniHand mass-produced machines competed in powder weighing and building blocks.

Of these, 8 gold medals in the sprint special hand took 7 gold medals, 12 gold medals in the scenic event took 6 gold medals, 5 gold medals in the athletics event and 5 gold medals in the athletics event.

Four types of products, four forms, face completely different tasks.

In the end, they will be able to stand on the podium, demonstrating that the advantage of Chiu has transcended single-point capabilities and entered the platformed output stage!

The XYZ curve begins to reach its end.

Returning to the APC 2026 conference in April this year, the verdict was first made by Xi'an founder Liu Taiwu.

2026 is the first year of deployment.

Physical intelligence is officially moving from "development mode" to "deployment mode" and from "energetic" to "will do".

He drew the XYZ curve, a coordinate for the whole body-smart industry.

The X-curve is the development of a fresh taste period, where robots are able to perform, demonstrate, provide emotional value.

The Y curve is the deployment of a growth period, where robots move from "powerful" to "active" and begin to create real productivity.

The Z curve is the endpoint, the emergence of intelligence, the "Turing test" of robots through the physical world.

图片

The game looks like it's still an arcade game, but the theme is already clearly aligned with the Y curve.

The same mass-produced robots can both perform high-dynamic archery and handle real-world tasks such as hotels, libraries, and emergency disposal.

The same AI underpinnings, capable of cross-body, cross-project migration. The ability to verify on the field, has been normalized on the production line.

By the end of June, Xi'an's 15,000th robot body had gone offline. From mass production to real deployment, and then to the top of the mass production machine double list, several lines that were originally scattered began to come together.

The body, the data, the model, the scene, form a closed loop.

This has also made Xi'an a leader in the industry, and the only one currently achieving deployment status.

At the end of the competition, gold medals will be placed in the progress box.

But these mass-produced robots will continue to go back to work in factories, hotels, libraries and more real jobs.

Winning a race is a result, the real world can win every day, and that is the watershed of the industry.
