According to reports, the robot-racers will be limited to humanoid, bipedal models like Casbot’s Casbot 1 and Magiclab’s Wheat. Competitor robots can be remote controlled (including semi-autonomous) or fully autonomous. The top finisher could win a modest sum of 5,000 Yuan ($691) as first prize.
There will also reportedly be prizes for robots that demonstrate the best gait, are most popular, as well as for robots that cross the finish line. Entries are restricted to robotics startups, research institutes, universities, robot clubs, and other innovative entities worldwide.
