After Outpacing Humans, Why Are Robots Still 'Training' on Mount Tai?

Robots competed in a race up Mount Tai's steep, uneven stone steps to test their capabilities in complex outdoor environments. While some models achieved impressive speeds and completed the course, many required human assistance or suffered hardware failures like motor overheating. The event highlighted that true deployment readiness requires robust autonomy for navigation, balance, and load-bearing in unstructured terrain, moving beyond simple speed benchmarks to practical utility in logistics and inspection.
