Watch live: World Humanoid Robot Games opening ceremony kicks off in China
Watch live as Beijing hosts the opening ceremony for the World 2025 Humanoid Robot Games on Thursday (14 August). Held from 15 to 17 August, the inaugural games will bring teams from more than 20 countries together to compete in a variety of sports, ranging from track to dance to martial arts. Over 500 robots will compete in the three-day event, marking the first of its kind in the world. The spectacle is being held at the National Speed Skating Oval – also known as the Ice Ribbon. It is the same venue that hosted speed skating competitions at the 2022 Winter Olympics. Inside the arena are four major competition areas, including a running track, a soccer field and a boxing ring. Surrounding this is a remote control room for operators to guide the robots from a distance. There are also non-sport-related events, such as humanoids being sent into a hospital-style room where they need to sort medicines and package them into prescriptions. It is not the first sporting event held in China for humanoid robots. In April, the capital hosted the world's first half-marathon for bots, and in May, the first-ever fighting tournament was hosted in Hangzhou.

China's robot footballers stumble through first tournament
Robots may be our future overlords, but when it comes to the beautiful game humans will be the masters for some time yet. China held its first fully autonomous AI robot football tournament at the weekend and the quality of play was more mess than Messi. Touted as a preview for the upcoming World Humanoid Robot Games, the tournament proved closer to playground football than even Sunday league standard. The cybernetic soccer players tumbled and crashed their way into each other during a series of three-on-three matches — about the only thing they had in common with their professional human counterparts is that they went to ground easily. The four teams of players powered entirely by artificial intelligence faced each other in Beijing on Saturday night. Left to their own devices, the child-sized robots struggled to navigate the field without falling and crashing into each other, despite being equipped with advanced visual sensors.
