Chinese soccer team trains for inaugural World Humanoid Robot Games
On a soccer pitch in Beijing, 'T1' is practicing shots and taking up positions. T1 is no ordinary player, however, but a gold medal-winning humanoid robot training for the first World Humanoid Robot Games, taking place in Beijing from Aug. 15. T1 is part of a race to take the lead in humanoid robotics, as China looks to become more self-sufficient in advanced technologies. The Games will bring together teams from more than 20 countries for events ranging from track and field to dance and martial arts, as well as practical applications such as industrial handling and medical services. T1 and its two teammates, fielded by Tsinghua University's Hephaestus team, made history for China last month by winning gold in the 'Humanoid, adult size' category of the 28-year-old RoboCup Humanoid League in Brazil.
