Humanoid robots stride into the future with world’s first android half-marathon race in China
The 21-kilometre (13-mile) event held in the Chinese capital’s E-Town — a state-backed high-tech manufacturing hub — was billed as a groundbreaking effort to test the limits of bipedal robots in real-world conditions.
Crossing the finish line first despite a mid-race fall was the tallest droid and one of the heaviest in the competition. At 180 centimetres (5.9 feet) tall and weighing 52 kilograms (114.6 pounds), the metallic black “Tiangong Ultra” finished in two hours, 40 minutes and 42 seconds.

π0.5: a VLA with Open-World Generalization
Robots have made impressive strides—from acrobatic feats and dance performances to practical tasks like folding laundry and clearing tables. Yet, one challenge remains paramount: generalization. Can robots adapt and perform even simple tasks in unfamiliar environments?
In rigorous tests, π0.5 demonstrated significant improvements over previous methods, performing tasks like cleaning kitchens and bedrooms in environments it had never encountered before. Although not perfect, its adaptability and resourcefulness hint at a future where robots seamlessly integrate into everyday life.

First Pilot-on-board Transition Flight
Joby Aviation is a company developing electric air taxis for commercial passenger service, today announced it has reached a landmark moment in its aircraft test program, successfully completing flights with a full transition from vertical to cruise flight, and back again, with a pilot onboard.
Transitioning from vertical to horizontal flight is a key design attribute of the Joby aircraft, allowing it to take-off and land vertically like a helicopter, while maintaining the efficiency and speed of a conventional, fixed-wing aircraft in forward flight. This unique capability will enable Joby to deliver rapid and seamless passenger service directly to popular destinations.
