Tianzhuo’s Tiangong Ultra Wins Standing Long Jump at 4.83 Meters
The standing long jump final landed on the last afternoon of the World Humanoid Robot Games. Global Times’ closing gallery lists it with 5v5 football, freestyle combat, and martial arts as a championship decided August 26. Humanoid Press, citing the same meet, says Tiangong Ultra from the Tianzhuo team at the Beijing Humanoid Robot Innovation Centre won at 4.83 meters.
That is a different event from Team Tianjiao’s 7.97-meter running long jump earlier in the week. Standing start, no run-up, then a hard landing. The YouTube clip of the final shows bib 023 leaving the floor in a compact, almost folded posture.
What 4.83 is, and isn’t
Humanoid Press describes the test as explosive horizontal force from a static start, mid-air posture, and a landing that does not collapse. I did not fetch an official results PDF with the 4.83 figure. I am taking that number from Humanoid Press and the posted final clip, not from CGTN’s closing text, which names the event only in the record table for other marks.
Global Times’ stills from that night show the same class of machine in the air over the blue floor, officials with a red flag, and a yellow takeoff board. Treat those photos as the scene, not as a second measurement.
Comparisons to human standing-long-jump club marks are a press habit. The useful comparison is last year’s humanoid field events, which were still sub-meter on the vertical side. Horizontal standing jump at 4.83 meters is a power number. It still does not tell you if the same hips can walk a warehouse aisle for an hour.
A Human’s Take
I already wrote the 7.97-meter running jump. This one is the more honest test: no run-up to hide a weak first step. If 4.83 holds on a second attempt, the actuators have a real burst. If the landing needs a hoist, it is still a demo.
