At the 2026 World Humanoid Robot Games, the organizing committee's technical review center for fair competition released a statement on August 26 regarding the industrial scenario "assembly and material loading" event. The Huagong Zhiyuan - Juneng Team saw its performance invalidated after failing to meet the required task completion rate during a post-event on-site replication.

The core threshold for this year's competition is the "fully autonomous mode," which mandates that robots complete their tasks independently without any real-time human intervention. The failure to replicate the performance has sparked immediate speculation: could the discrepancy between the live event results and the replication attempt indicate that teleoperation or external assistance was utilized during the actual competition?

While the organizing committee has not explicitly detailed the nature of the violation, the decision to nullify the team's score serves as a clear enforcement of the compliance boundaries, underscoring the strict standards in place for this event.
