The World Humanoid Robot Games (WHRG) are an annual international competition showcasing the capabilities of humanoid robots. Held every two years, the games feature robots competing in a variety of challenges designed to test their physical abilities, cognitive skills, and adaptability. These challenges typically include tasks like walking, running, lifting objects, manipulating tools, and navigating complex environments. The goal is to push the boundaries of robotics and demonstrate the potential for humanoid robots to assist humans in various fields, from healthcare and manufacturing to exploration and disaster relief.

The WHRG attract teams from around the world, with participants striving to develop robots that can perform complex tasks with increasing autonomy. The competition highlights advancements in areas like artificial intelligence, machine learning, and robotics engineering. Winning robots are evaluated based on their performance in the challenges, judged by a panel of experts in the field. The event serves as a platform for fostering collaboration, innovation, and raising awareness about the rapidly evolving field of humanoid robotics and its potential impact on society.
