Watch these humanoid robots run, fight, dance and fall over at first ‘robot Olympics'

Hundreds of humanoid robots have been brought together in Beijing, China, for the inaugural World Humanoid Robot Games. The three-day event kicked off on Friday and involves more than 500 humanoid robots organized into 280 teams. Participants include robot manufacturers, universities, and research institutions from 16 countries, including China and the U.S. The first-ever World Humanoid Robot Games comprises 26 events across three categories: Athletics, performance, and scenario-based challenges. The athletic contests are based on human sports, including running races of 400 meters and 1500 meters, long jump, high jump, gymnastics, and soccer games. The performance category, meanwhile, features solo and group dances, martial arts, and musical instrument demonstrations. Finally, scenario-based challenges simulate real-world tasks such as sorting medicines, handling industrial materials, and conducting hospitality concierge services. A video (top) features some of the robots in action on the first day. A running contest, for example, shows several of the bipedal-bots racing along a track at impressive speed, although one of the competitors clearly has trouble sticking to its lane. The footage also shows a robot playing the piano, while another shows off its drumming skills. Next up is what appears to be some kind of futuristic fashion show, with a number of robots dressed up in outlandish garb while strutting their stuff on a catwalk (of sorts). It's during the fashion show that we see the first casualty of the Games — a robot collapsed in a heap that has to carried off by humans (couldn't they get a robot to do it?). We also glimpse what looks like a group of around 25 marching robots that may or may not be in training for the uprising. Let's hope it's the latter. Robot soccer games are always good entertainment, though judging by the abysmal performance of a couple of players in the video, it's going to be a long time before they mount a serious challenge to their human counterparts. Soccer fails aside, technology in the humanoid robots sector has come on leaps and bounds in the last few years, and while the Beijing event is sure to provide plenty of entertainment over the coming days, it also offers robotics experts a rare global platform to showcase their latest innovations.

Fly By Jing just dropped a limited-edition ketchup inspired by its editor-loved Chili Crisp

What if hot sauce and ketchup had a baby? That's exactly what Fly By Jing's latest creation is bringing to life. Say hello to the brand's Chili Crisp Ketchup, which just dropped today and is bringing the heat and complexity of the editor-loved Sichuan Chili Crisp to the classic condiment. Developed alongside Frankie Gaw, a James Beard Award-winning content creator behind Little Fat Boy, this one-of-a-kind spicy ketchup is the perfect way to level up your daily omelet, french fries or BBQ staples like hot dogs and hamburgers. I had a chance to test it before launch and can confirm I'm going to need surplus stock in my pantry so I never run out. Fly By Jing Chili Crisp Ketchup Whether you're a ketchup lover or not, I recommend checking out this limited-edition Sichuan-inspired ketchup by Fly By Jing. Unlike regular ketchup, this one offers the perfect dose of heat, savoriness and sweetness. It isn't so spicy that I needed to chug a glass of milk. Fly By Jing is a go-to brand in multiple CNN Underscored editors' pantries, including mine, and for good reason. I've been drizzling the AAPI-owned brand's various sauces on top of my eggs, noodles and more for years now, and I'm still just as hooked as the first time I tried it. Just like its iconic Sichuan Chili Crisp, which has now made chili crisp a household staple, this launch will make your taste buds dance. Even if you're not a ketchup lover, I think you should give this spicier version a try. Unlike typical ketchup that's sweet, this one offers more complex flavors and a bit of a kick versus a blast of sweetness on your tongue. I drizzled this tangy ketchup on everything from eggs and hamburgers to chicken sausage and sweet potato fries. It added the perfect dose of flavor without overpowering my food. Unlike the OG Chili Crisp, I thought this ketchup was significantly milder and more tolerable for people like me whose palates are more sensitive to heat. If you're a Fly By Jing fan, you'll want to add this new drop to your cart ASAP, as it's limited edition and once it's gone it'll be gone forever! Senior lifestyle editor Tamara Kraus has been in the editorial and commerce space for nearly a decade, testing and reviewing products in categories from home and kitchen to fashion and beauty. She's been using Fly By Jing for years, and it's become a go-to in her own kitchen.
