China plans for humanoid Olympics
China is planning to hold a robot Olympics in 2010.
The international event will be held in the city of Harbin and will
see robots take part in 16 different events.
Robots will be able to compete in familiar Olympic sports such as
athletics as well as those more suited to machines such as cleaning.
Entry to the competition will be restricted to robots resembling
humans. They must possess two arms and legs. Wheels are banned.
