Humanoid Sports: The Possibility of Robot Athletics

Hey everyone, I've been thinking about this whole "humanoid sports" concept lately, and I'm really curious to hear your thoughts on it.

I mean, we've already got things like robot soccer competitions, but imagine taking it to the next level. Picture a full-on Olympics for humanoid robots. Sounds pretty wild, right?

On one hand, I can see some really interesting possibilities:

We could push the limits of robotics and see some incredible feats of engineering.

It might lead to advancements in prosthetics and human augmentation.

It could be a great way to get more people interested in robotics and AI.

But then I start to wonder about the challenges:

How do we make it fair? Would we need different categories based on the robots' capabilities?

What about the human element? Part of what makes sports exciting is the human drama and emotion.

Could it take attention and funding away from human athletes?

I'm really interested to hear what you all think about this. Do you see humanoid sports as an exciting new frontier, or does it feel like it's missing the point of athletics?
And for those of you with a background in robotics or sports science, I'd love to hear your perspective on how feasible this actually is. What kind of technological hurdles would we need to overcome?

Looking forward to a good discussion on this!
