Riyadh: CyberHero, the world's first global humanoid robot sports league, launched in Riyadh on September 9, with host Hero Esports announcing plans for an inaugural season spanning eight cities worldwide.

The league's first humanoid robot combat competition, CyberHero x Riyadh, took place at Boulevard City and was created by Hero Esports, Asia's largest esports company. The global circuit will span four regions - the Middle East, Europe, the Americas, and Asia - with two of the eight stops located in the Middle East.

The event marked the Middle East's first humanoid robot combat show, featuring EngineAI T800 humanoid robots competing inside a purpose-built arena. Standing approximately 1.73 metres tall and weighing between 75 and 85 kilograms, the T800 features 29 articulated joints and is capable of walking, running, punching, kicking, turning, recovering after falls, and the occasional dance.

At the heart of CyberHero is a team-based competition model bringing together three roles: builders, who design and engineer the robots; coders, who develop and train the intelligence behind them; and drivers, who make live decisions in the physical arena. The league will expand into additional disciplines as humanoid robot capabilities develop, with the long-term goal of building a global competitive platform.
