/PRZWT/On February 9, 2026, the launch event of the first Global Humanoid Robot Free-Fight League (Ultimate Robot Knock-out Legend, abbreviated as "URKL") was successfully held under global attention. As the first commercialized free-fight event focusing on humanoid robots on a global scale, this event was initiated by Shenzhen Zhongqin Robot Technology Co., Ltd. and co-organized by Shenzhen Pingxing Star Robot Technology Co., Ltd. A large number of global technology experts, representatives of university research teams, and mainstream media from home and abroad gathered at the venue to jointly witness the official launch of this technological sports event that combines technical depth and industrial value.
The guests gathered at the venue, facilitating the implementation of the integrated industry of technology and sports.
At the press conference, representatives of Zhongqin Robotics' founding team and CEO Zhao Tongyang, as well as representatives of the Zhongqin Competition Team and the event director of the Kung Shing Ming Robotics Competition, Zhang Rui, and Thai boxing champion Boosuk, among other guests, took the stage one after another to deliver speeches, comprehensively explaining the core values, event planning, technical support and ecological layout of the URKL League.
Currently, the field of embodied intelligence and humanoid robot technology is accelerating from technological exploration towards industrialization implementation. The iterative development of core technologies, the aggregation of industrial ecosystems, and the expansion of application scenarios are showing a multi-point breakthrough trend. At the same time, international events such as the 2026 World Cup and the Asian Games have sparked a global sports craze. The innovative integration of "technology + sports" has become a new trend for industrial upgrading. The emergence of the URKL League is not only a precise response to the demand for the development of embodied intelligence industry, but also a vivid practice of Zhongyi Robot in implementing the national innovation-driven development strategy. Moreover, with its unique form of "Chinese robot kung fu model", it builds an important bridge for the connection and output of Chinese culture and international popular culture, injecting Chinese wisdom into global industrial development.
At this press conference, Zhao Tongyang made a significant announcement: The URKL League will present a gold belt weighing ten kilograms and valued at approximately 10 million yuan to the winning team at the end of the competition - this is not only the highest symbol of the honor system of the URKL League, but also a significant award and profound tribute to the top technical strength and extreme innovative spirit in the global humanoid robot field. Yao Qiyuan added that the maturity of core technologies for humanoid robots cannot be achieved without the practical training and repeated verification in real scenarios. With the strong support of Longgang Human-Machine Agency and Longgang Data Bureau, the official designated regular competition venue for this season of the URKL League will be located in the Longgang FRL Robot Club. The open and inclusive, fair and competitive fighting stage established by the URKL League can effectively attract more high-quality technical teams from around the world to delve deeply into the field of embodied intelligence, making the event a "trial stone" for technological innovation and an "incubator" for talent discovery, helping the industry discover and cultivate more outstanding innovative talents, accelerating the transformation and implementation of cutting-edge technologies from laboratories to real application scenarios, and injecting strong impetus into the high-quality development of the embodied intelligence industry.
Build a full-chain ecological aggregation platform and construct a new highland for the development of embodied intelligence industry
The URKL League is not merely a simple competitive event; rather, it is a comprehensive ecosystem aggregation platform that integrates technical collaboration, resource integration, talent incubation, and capital linkage. Relying on this platform, global industry partners will achieve deep integration, establishing a complete industrial ecological loop covering "research and development - production - application - investment". This will not only promote the deep integration of "technology + sports + culture", fostering a social atmosphere where the public pays attention to technology and loves innovation, but also help enterprises conduct practical tests of technological achievements and transform their commercial value. It will help build a globally influential aggregation base for the global industry and inject lasting vitality into the global development of embodied intelligent technology.
As an innovative enterprise deeply engaged in the industry, Zhongqin Robotics has always regarded ecological construction as its important mission and has been continuously contributing to the development of the industry. By establishing the URKL League as an open platform, the Zhongqin team has fully unleashed its over ten years of technical accumulation and global resource advantages. Through the event as a link, it collaborates with global partners, focuses on core technologies, expands application scenarios, and improves the industrial ecosystem. This enables technology to iterate in competitions and the ecosystem to thrive through cooperation, continuously promoting the embodied intelligence industry from "single breakthrough" to "system upgrade", injecting strong momentum into the high-quality development of the global embodied intelligence industry, and writing a new chapter in the global development of the humanoid robot industry.
