Galbot humanoid robots completed more than 100 consecutive autonomous tennis rallies against human athletes during a live match at the opening ceremony of the Second World Humanoid Robot Games, the company said in a press release.

The match was broadcast globally from Beijing on Aug. 23, 2026. Galbot said the robots tracked tennis balls, moved across the court, selected shots, and continued play without scripted movement sequences.

During the event, the robots performed serves, forehands, backhands, returns, baseline rallies, net play, and recovery shots. In doubles play, they partnered with human tennis champions and adjusted their movements during active points.

The company said the demonstration showed autonomous humanoid robots responding to a complete sports environment, including ball tracking, body coordination, positioning, and interaction with human players.
