Robots hit the snow at the first Jingyue Robotics Ice and Snow Fun Competition, held on Saturday in Changchun, northeast China's Jilin Province, turning a frozen arena into a testing ground for intelligent technology.

From skiing and sled pulling to snowball throwing and sled racing, a range of playful yet demanding events pushed robots out of the lab and into real winter conditions. Humanoid and four-legged robots took on icy terrain, testing their stability, precision and endurance while showcasing how cutting-edge robotics can adapt to extreme environments.
