00:02If you want to get an idea of how advanced robots are becoming in China,
00:07this is a good place to start.
00:09The World Humanoid Robot Games.
00:12As the name suggests, this is basically the Olympics for humanoids.
00:17More than 650 teams are competing across a range of sports
00:21like running, boxing, soccer and table tennis.
00:24Some are controlled by humans and others are autonomous.
00:28Like in the 100 metre sprint where a Chinese robot aptly named Lightning
00:34broke the human world record held by Usain Bolt.
00:38But as you can see, running fast isn't the problem here.
00:43Stopping seems to be.
00:45And it's not just sports on show.
00:47These robots are also competing in more commercial scenarios
00:50like food services, bed making and even folding clothes.
00:56And if you're watching this and thinking that robots are about to start taking over the world,
01:02that's not necessarily the case.
01:04There have been plenty of spills, crashes and malfunctions.
01:09But if you look at how things have advanced in just one year,
01:13it is still pretty remarkable.
01:16And as much as this is a spectacle,
01:20this is also a chance for China to demonstrate its advancements in robotics and AI,
01:27a sphere it wants to dominate in the rest of the world.
01:31So I can think of it as well.
01:31But as well as I can think of it as well.
01:34But as well as I can think of it as well as I can-
01:34It's all I need.
01:34It's all I need to take for now.
01:35And the base is not about to go to be in this industry.
01:35It's all I need to be in, that is really powerful.
