Participants include teams from the US, Germany, Japan and Brazil, Xinhua reported, citing Jiang Guangzhi, director of the Beijing Municipal Bureau of Economy and Information Technology.

Chinese teams account for 641 of the registered teams. logo logo logo

The industry's rise has also strained ties with Washington.

The US Federal Communications Commission on July 29 restricted new foreign-made humanoid and quadruped robots from receiving the authorization generally required for import, marketing or sale in the US, citing cybersecurity and national security risks.

The restrictions do not affect robots already authorized for use in the US but could limit Chinese manufacturers' access to a key prospective market as they expand overseas.
