According to Jimu News, on November 2, the first CMG World Robot Mount Tai Climbing Competition kicked off in Tai'an, Shandong. At the referee's signal, the robots set off one after another at intervals of more than a minute.
The star product, the Unitree robot, appeared as the entry selected by Yongda Zhicheng. According to the operator, this robot is the Unitree Robot G1 development version, the same model as seen at the Spring Festival Gala.
However, the Unitree robot did not finish the race. Midway through the competition, the robot encountered a problem due to overheating, and for safety reasons the operator chose to withdraw; staff placed the robot on a stretcher and carried it down the mountain.
At the scene, the first robot to finish wobbled and staggered on the final uphill flight of steps, even "taking one step forward and three steps back," while another robot successfully finished after being led by its operator with a rope around its neck.
It is understood that the robot Mount Tai climbing competition course is 3.9 kilometers long with more than 3,100 steps in total. The event includes four official competition categories—humanoid robot racing, legged robot racing, legged robot load-bearing, and exoskeleton robot assistance—as well as one all-terrain mobile pathfinding challenge.
