Robots have competed against their fellow human runners in a half marathon in China.
The humanoid robots were the products of Chinese manufacturers and varied enormously in size, from 1.2 metres to 1.8 metres in height.
Each and every robot contestant was accompanied by its human companion, who was responsible for keeping it on track and for renewing its batteries when required.
As in a normal competition, there were a few accidents as the race was underway.
Out of the robots, Tiangong Ultra, the creation of Beijing Humanoid Robot Innovation Centre, was victorious at the finish.
The firm's chief technology officer Tang Jian put their success down to their extensive research.
He claimed they'd closely examined the movements of professional competitors.
The first occasion where humanoid robots have raced against humans, this event was significant in additional ways.
It gave China an opening in which to exhibit their talents in robotics.
Additionally, it offered the space to trial the machines' strength and stability.
Although the human victor's running time was, at one hour and two minutes, under half that of Tiangong Ultra's, many of the spectators consider it's only a matter of time until a robot wins.
Huang Xiaoyu and her young daughter, who were observing with great interest, were convinced that robots would soon be first past the finishing post.
