A humanoid robot joined marathon runners in Antarctica on Sunday, November 8, in freezing conditions.
This robot, named Qestr, was one of the 25 participants in the competition held at the "Ultima" camp.
Oliver Wang, the organizer of this competition, said: This is the first humanoid robot to participate in a race for professional runners in the pristine nature of Antarctica.
Given that the South Pole is currently experiencing the midnight sun phenomenon, the race started at 1am and participants passed minus 24 degrees Celsius.
This humanoid robot with a thermal coat managed to find its place in difficult conditions, but its battery died after 3 kilometers and the robot had to withdraw from the race.
