During the Second World Humanoid Robot Games, Galbot humanoid robots demonstrated advanced physical intelligence by completing the world’s first live autonomous humanoid robot tennis match. The robots recorded over 100 consecutive autonomous rallies, showcasing the ability to track high-speed balls, execute various strokes, and recover balance during high-speed exchanges.

Further demonstrations highlighted the technology’s ability to compete against human professionals, including a match against former professional player Zheng Jie. To perform in these dynamic environments, the robots utilized software architectures combining massive simulations and adaptive reinforcement learning algorithms to predict ball trajectories and execute precise movements.
