China just staged the first-ever “Robot Olympics” — the World Humanoid Robot Games — and we watched 12 hours so you don’t have to. Robots sprinted, boxed, played soccer, and even folded laundry as 280 teams from 16 countries sent 500+ bots to Beijing. We unpack the viral falls and real wins, from Unitree’s 1500m (6:34) to the 100m controversy where an autonomous Tiangong beat a faster tele-operated run via a rule multiplier. More importantly, we break down autonomy vs. teleop, why dexterity and chores matter more than sprints, and how public competitions are becoming the benchmark—and data engine—for embodied AI. Stick around for spicy takes, future timelines, and the robot form factors that’ll actually matter at home and at work.
