BEIJING, CHINA - AUGUST 16, 2025: The World Humanoid Robot Games (WHRG), the world’s first large-scale robot competition where humanoid robots compete in sports, performance, and practical applications, continued on Saturday, Aug. 16, in Beijing, China.

On the second day of the games, events included 100-meter and 100-meter hurdles races, 3-on-3 and 5-on-5 soccer matches, kickboxing bouts, and artistic gymnastics finals.

Outside the sports competitions, humanoid robots demonstrated their skills in scenario events that test practical abilities. Competitions included a hotel scenario where robots cleaned a hotel room and a hospital scenario where they retrieved prescription medicines from shelves.

The event, organized in cooperation with the Beijing Municipal People’s Government, China Media Group, the World Robot Cooperation Organization, and RoboCup Asia-Pacific, features 280 teams from 15 countries, including the U.S., Germany, Japan, and Malaysia.

More than 500 humanoid robots developed by robotics companies, universities, research institutes, robot clubs, and enthusiasts are competing in the games.

Aiming to showcase advances in humanoid robot technology through practical applications, the event features competitions in athletics, gymnastics, soccer, and kickboxing, as well as performance and scenario categories.

In the performance category, robots perform solo and group dance routines, while the scenario category includes tasks such as handling materials, sorting, organizing, and cleaning.

The WHRG will conclude on Sunday.
