In contrast to the prior event, remote control has become more restricted and even banned in some cases. This forces the humanoids to be more autonomous when handling challenges such as balance and navigation. At the same time, the events were not restricted just to track and field. Robots had to perform in areas such as sorting and restaurant service.&nbsp;<strong>Think of the games as a showcase for the industrial dexterity of humanoids<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sixteen nations may have participated at the Robot Games, but&nbsp;<strong>over 90% of the teams (which typically represent companies or university research labs) and a similar number of robots were Chinese<\/strong>. No surprise that China took the lion\u2019s share of medals. The winning participant in the 100m sprint \u2013 the Tiangong Ultra humanoid \u2013 recorded a time of 9.32 seconds, Usain\u2019s Bolt\u2019s record stands at 9.58 seconds. Neither was he present, nor, more tellingly, were any US robotic participants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Any major event of this nature is clearly partly about&nbsp;<strong>projecting national power and technological leadership<\/strong>. The dominance of China mirrors how the country has become the market leader in global humanoid robotic shipments.

Its approach to building industrial leadership in humanoids mirrors that adopted in fields such as solar panels or electric vehicles. US robotic companies were presumably absent owing to concerns over commercial and competitive secrecy, with geopolitics also likely playing a role. The next (human) Olympics takes place in Los Angeles in 2028, where American pomp \u2013 if not humanoids \u2013 will almost certainly be on display.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The more crucial point is that&nbsp;<strong>we are moving closer to the tipping point of growing humanoid adoption<\/strong>. We certainly need them \u2013 to support both an ageing population and a shrinking workforce. As with any other technology,&nbsp;<strong>falling costs and growing capabilities should help accelerate development.<\/strong>&nbsp;Robots are already helping stack shelves and build cars. Even if your author does not plan to race one on the track any time soon, he can easily imagine seeing more humanoids around in the coming years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8212;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Originally Posted September 2, 2026 &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/heptagon-capital.com\/season-8-post-31-faster-higher-stronger-together-1\">Faster, higher, stronger &#8211; together?<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The above is provided for information purposes only and does not constitute investment advice or a recommendation to buy or sell any security.
