Footage filmed on August 18 in Beijing, China, shows a humanoid robot sprinting around a blue athletics track during testing ahead of the 2nd World Humanoid Robot Games. The robot uses a forward-leaning gait, swinging its arms and rapidly moving its legs as it maintains its pace around the track. The Games are due to take place at Beijing's National Speed Skating Oval, with 2,056 robots from 666 teams across 16 countries and regions expected to compete in 51 events, including running disciplines.
