⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠CASBOT SE, a humanoid robot redesigned for agility by robotics company CASBOT, will showcase cutting-edge capabilities in Beijing’s half-marathon on Sunday, competing alongside human athletes in the city’s Economic-Technological Development Area.

Created by robotics company CASBOT, the robot is based on CASBOT 01, a popular humanoid model that has been mass-produced for industrial and various other applications.

To optimize its performance for the race, CASBOT SE features a shorter frame compared to CASBOT 01, boosting its speed and enabling it to navigate the course more effectively.

In order to enhance agility and reduce weight, CASBOT SE has been stripped of its complex hands and visual recognition system, streamlining its design for the race environment.

Set for April 13 in Beijing's Economic-Technological Development Area, the race will feature both robotic and human athletes competing on parallel tracks to ensure safety while sharing the same route.
