Podium ranks and final-day match scores are from the official results page. Booster Robotics' post-event release and the teams' official specification papers identify Booster T1 as the platform used by all three podium teams. The world championship ran from 30 June to 6 July in Incheon, South Korea; podium-deciding matches were played on 5 July. League-wide awards included Best Customized Humanoid for HERoEHS (ALICE 4th version) and Best Humanoid Software for B-Human.

Defeated UT AustinVilla 2–1 in the third-place match.

The 2026 format replaced KidSize and AdultSize with Small, Middle and Large divisions. Invic and GeoHBots' qualification documents showed different pre-event platforms, so the post-event Booster Robotics identification of the robots actually used takes precedence.

Defeated Hamburg Bit-Bots 6–3 in the final. Booster Robotics identifies the competition platform as K1 Air, which is not in the roster.

The overall podium consisted of three autonomous HONOR Robotics D1 robots. Autonomous and remote-controlled entries shared one ranking, but remote-controlled raw times were multiplied by 1.2. A remote-controlled HONOR entry crossed in 48:19, which corresponds to a weighted 57:58.8 and therefore did not place on the podium. About 40% of the field navigated autonomously. Robots used the same 21.0975 km route as the human race but ran in a separated lane, started 30 seconds apart, and were monitored for violations, battery swaps and penalties using judges, RFID timing and pressure mats; the result is therefore not directly comparable to a World Athletics-certified human record.

50:26 net time, autonomous navigation. Shandian (闪电) is translated as Lightning or Flash.

The Beijing closing reports identify Lingyi Technology and Gaoyi Technology as second and third, but do not match those placings to the two stored H1 times; those rows retain null ranks. The 2025 rule multiplied autonomous elapsed times by 0.8 and remote-controlled elapsed times by 1.0, so these are ranking values rather than necessarily raw finish times.

Winner and the only fully autonomous finisher identified by the sources. Science and Technology Daily reports 21.50 s in the same account that explains the 0.8 autonomy coefficient, but does not publish Tiangong Ultra's unweighted elapsed time; 21.50 is therefore stored as the official scored time.

Ranking only: the official results page gives no textual final score. It does not name a third-place AdultSize team, so none is listed. Both finalists' official team specifications identify Booster T1 hardware. Best Humanoid award: Tsinghua Hephaestus (1st), Boosted HTWK (2nd).

Only the winner is listed because the organizer-linked official sources give no full classification with verified times. Twenty teams competed. The rules allowed autonomous, follow-mode, and remotely controlled operation, as well as battery swaps and backup robots. The maker describes UWB-guided following for Tiangong Ultra; the organizer's later retrospective identifies that 2025 run as semi-autonomous.

2:40:42. The organizer's April 2026 retrospective calls the 2025 run semi-autonomous. The maker's race-day account calls it autonomous following: UWB wireless guidance supported target tracking and path planning, while the robot adjusted its direction and speed. Classified as mixed to preserve the organizer's distinction from the fully autonomous 2026 run.
