The 2025 World Humanoid Robot Games will grandly open on the evening of August 14th at the Beijing National Speed Skating Oval, known as the "Ice Ribbon." This three-day, world-first comprehensive robotics competition has entered its final sprint. 280 participating teams from 16 countries will compete in 26 events and 487 rounds, presenting an unprecedented feast of technology and sports.
The newly released competition schedule from the organizing committee indicates that the Games will be held in two sessions, morning and afternoon, from August 15th to 17th. On the morning of the first competition day following the opening ceremony, spectators will witness competition in 16 events, including the 1500m track and field, football, and free fighting. Four events, including the 1500m track and field and group dance, will determine gold medals on the first day. Notably, the competition features practical events such as industrial material handling and pharmaceutical drug sorting, showcasing the potential of humanoid robots in production and daily life.
Ticket sales continue to surge as the event approaches. Only a few tickets remain for the opening and closing ceremonies, and the discounted packages popular with families are in extremely short supply. The organizing committee stated that to enhance the viewing experience, two or three award ceremonies will be held for each competition, ensuring that spectators arriving at different times can enjoy the highlights. This grand event, which blends competitive sports with cutting-edge technology, will not only showcase the latest achievements in humanoid robotics technology worldwide, but also open a new chapter in the deep integration of artificial intelligence and human society.
