The race kicked off Thursday with the 1-foot-tall, battery-charged robots competing around a 100-meter racetrack. They will have to cover 42 km.
Japanese robot maker and event organizer Vstone Co. says the “Robo Mara Full” race in Osaka will demonstrate the machines’ durability and maneuverability.
Vstone robots took an early lead, while two entrants by Osaka University of Engineering teams got off to a shaky start. The race is expected to last through Sunday.
Vstone CEO Nobuo Yamato hopes the event will become international in the future.
