It’s gonna be the most exciting event in Osaka Japan for the world’s first robot marathon is being held there. The contest is projected to take up to four days to complete with toy-sized robots traversing over 26 miles (42km) to full 423 laps of an indoor track.
Operators are allowed to change batteries and motors for their robots, but if any robot falls over, the robot must be able to get back up by itself. Organizers don’t expect the best robot to win, but rather the robot that can take the most wear and tear to be the last one standing.
The event should take about four days to complete, and is organized by local authorities and a local robotics firm. They hope the contest can someday become a regular international event. Watch out this event…
