		</div><p>In one small step for robot-kind – thousands of them, really – humanoid robots ran alongside actual humans in a half-marathon in the Chinese capital Beijing on Saturday.</p>
<p>The bipedal robots of various makes and sizes navigated the 13.1-mile course supported by teams of human navigators, operators, and engineers, in what event organizers say was a first.</p>
<p>As a precaution, a divider separated the parallel courses used by the robots and people.</p>
<p>While flesh-and-blood participants followed conventional rules, the 20 teams fielding machines in the Humanoid Robot Half-Marathon competed under tailored guidelines, which included battery swap pit stops.</p>
<p>The Sky Project Ultra robot, also known as Tien Kung Ultra, from the Tien Kung Team, claimed victory among the non-humans, crossing the finish line in two hours, 40 minutes and 42 seconds.</p>
<p>Awards were also given out for best endurance, best gait design and most innovative form.</p>
