Robots have raced against their flesh and blood counterparts in a half marathon in China.
Manufactured by Chinese tech companies, the humanoid styled robots came in all shapes and sizes, ranging in height from 1.2 metres to 1.8 metres.
The individual robots ran alongside their human handlers, responsible for steering the right course and replacing the battery pack, should the need arise.
There were 21 robots in all, alongside thousands of runners, but as in a typical running event, there were occasional mishaps along the way.
The victor amongst the humanoids was Tiangong Ultra, fabricated by the Beijing Humanoid Robot Innovation Centre.
The enterprise's chief technology officer, Tang Jian, explains that their comprehensive research into the manner professional athletes move had ultimately given them the edge.
A world first for humanoid robots to compete alongside humans, this occasion was a historic opportunity to showcase China's sophistication in the field of robotics.
At the same time, it was a way of putting the stability and endurance of their machines to the test.
The first human runner triumphed in one hour and two minutes, less than half the time of the winning android, yet despite this discrepancy, many feel assured that technological developments will inevitably advance.
Onlookers Huang Xiaoyu and her young daughter, who'd been cheering from the sidelines, concluded that it'll be robots seizing the trophy before long.
