# And finally, if you thought the Olympics were unusual, welcome to the World Humanoid Robot Games in Beijing. More than two-thousand robots from 16 countries are competing in 51 events, ranging from athletics and soccer to dancing and practical tasks. The accompanying World Robot Conference is showcasing more than 300 companies and thousands of robotic products. Among the stars is a robot horse carrying a humanoid rider, while other machines are dancing, playing music and taking part in sports alongside humans. The future, it seems, has arrived — and it’s surprisingly busy.
