The World Humanoid Robot Games projected a massive scale-up: 500 robot contestants and 300 teams in 2025, growing to 2000 contestants and 700 teams in 2026. This rapid expansion helps explain the FCC's recent ban on importing foreign-made humanoid robots, given the capabilities already demonstrated abroad.
