Beijing will host the 2025 World Robot Conference (WRC) and the inaugural World Humanoid Robot Games (WHRG) in August, with about 200 robotics companies presenting their latest innovations.

Over 30 international organizations, more than 30 renowned global experts and over 100 international teams are expected to participate.

The main events of the WHRG, the world's first multi-sport competition for humanoid robots, will test the athletic and functional skills of robots in track and field, soccer, dance, handling materials, and medical sorting.

"The games will demonstrate how close robots are to achieving human-like capabilities," said Jiang Guangzhi, director of the Beijing Municipal Bureau of Economy and Information Technology.
