On April 19, 2025, 21 humanoid robots participated along with 12,000 human runners in a half-marathon in Beijing. While almost every robot fell down and had overheating problems, and the robots were continuously being controlled by human handlers accompanying them, six of the robots did reach the finish line. Two of them, Tiangong Ultra by Chinese robotics company UBTech, and N2 by Chinese company Noetix Robotics, which took first and second place respectively among robots in the race, stood out for their consistent (albeit slow) pace.<ref>{{cite news |last1=Yang |first1=Zeyi |title=Stumbling and Overheating, Most Humanoid Robots Fail to Finish Half-Marathon in Beijing |url=https://www.wired.com/story/beijing-half-marathon-humanoid-robots/ |access-date=22 April 2025 |publisher=Wired |date=April 19, 2025}}</ref>
