Fast Technology News, November 2: The first CMG World Robot Mount Tai Climbing Competition will be held today in Tai'an, Shandong, where various types of robots will engage in a special climbing contest on Mount Tai.

It is understood that this competition sets up its course based on Mount Tai's complex mountainous environment, and includes two major categories: speed races and special events, with a total of 4 official events and 1 featured challenge event.

Among them, the speed races mainly test the robots' ability to traverse continuously in complex mountainous environments, and are divided into two groups: humanoid robots and legged robots.

The official segment of the humanoid robot speed race runs from Hongmen Square to Doumu Palace, about 1.6 kilometers in total, and requires climbing more than 600 steps.

Teams that complete the official segment can also independently challenge the highly difficult segment from Doumu Palace to Hutian Pavilion.

The legged robot speed race extends from Hongmen Square all the way to Zhongtian Gate, about 3.9 kilometers in total, and requires climbing more than 3,100 steps, with a cumulative elevation difference of about 600 meters.

According to CCTV News reports, the special events include a legged robot load-bearing race and an exoskeleton robot assistance race.

The former simulates the working scenario of Mount Tai porters and tests the robots' material transport capability while carrying loads; the latter focuses on testing the burden-reducing and assistance effects of exoskeleton equipment in mountainous environments.

In addition, the competition also features an all-terrain mobile pathfinding challenge, aimed at wheeled, tracked, spherical, and other forms of robots, to demonstrate their ability to traverse complex terrain.

It is worth noting that Mount Tai's stone steps vary in height and width, placing extremely high demands on the robots' environmental perception, motion control, and balance capabilities.

This is especially true on the steepest "Twelve Consecutive Turns" section, where robots need to complete a vertical climb of 92 meters.

To cope with the complex terrain, the participating robots need to use equipment such as LiDAR to scan the surrounding environment, generate 3D point cloud maps, and identify steps, steep slopes, and obstacles.

Some humanoid robots have also moved their cameras from the head to the chest to reduce visual blind spots near their feet.

During the climbing process, the robots can also perceive force conditions through their joints and, combined with their own motion posture, adjust their stride length in real time to keep their bodies as stable as possible.
