Touted as China's first 3-on-3 football game between humanoid robots, the event served as a preview for the upcoming World Humanoid Robot Games, set to take place in the Chinese capital this August.

According to the organizers, a key highlight of the competition was that all participating robots operated fully autonomously using AI-driven strategies – without any human intervention or supervision.

Equipped with advanced visual sensors, the robots were able to identify the ball and navigate the field. They were also designed to stand up on their own after falling.

During the game, however, several still had to be carried off the field on stretchers by staff.

Let's see if this link works. It's just as fast-paced and exciting as a peewee soccer tournament

Actually, they should've pitted the robots against little kids. That would've been hilarious.

Holy shit! I was dying of laughter when they are just randomly falling down, when the ref randomly grabbed those two like little kids to keep them from running off, and then ones being carried out on a stretcher.

They’ve definitely surpassed my own soccer skills. Or futbol if you prefer.

And zero audience fatalities. Now that’s a win.

The amount of effort vs a handful of toddlers, and people looking bored until they start just laughing. I’d be so embarrassed if I was one of the robots.
