A bunch of robots ran a half-marathon alongside humans and it was incredibly goofy

Beijing held what’s being called the world’s first half-marathon for robots, pitting bipedal bots against human runners in a race that ended with moments of ridiculousness. Struggling to keep even basic footing, many robots fell or lost parts during the four-hour allotted time, while one robot nearly died at the starting line. The event, which saw 21 robots participate, proved both absurd and innovative as technology met running in ways no one had imagined.
