Hitch Open is an artificial intelligence competition series involving autonomous driving and humanoid robot table tennis. The Hitch Open World AI Championships began in China in 2025, with university teams developing autonomous-driving software.[1] In 2026, the series added the Hitch Open Ping-Pong Embodied (HOPE) AI Challenge, a humanoid-robot table-tennis competition initiated by the Intelligent Racing Foundation and included in the second World Humanoid Robot Games.[2]
Autonomous-vehicle competition
[edit]The 2025 championship used simulation-based qualifying rounds followed by trials with physical vehicles. Seven university teams qualified for the road stage, using a common PIX Moving vehicle chassis.[3]
The final was held on 18 October 2025 on the 10.77-kilometre, 99-bend road on Tianmen Mountain in Zhangjiajie. Tsinghua University's Extreme Racing team won with a time of 16 minutes 10.838 seconds; Hunan University and Jilin University placed second and third, respectively. Because rain affected the final, Tsinghua's previously recorded time was used for its result.[3][4]
Humanoid-robot table tennis
[edit]The HOPE AI Challenge was introduced in 2026 and held as part of the second World Humanoid Robot Games at the National Speed Skating Oval in Beijing.[2][5]
The matches required robots to make their own playing decisions without remote control.[6][7] Teams used the same AgiBot Expedition A3 humanoid platform. On 25 August, the joint Peking University–Beijing Academy of Artificial Intelligence team defeated the University of Hong Kong SMASH team in the final.[5]
Open data
[edit]At the conclusion of the 2025 racing competition, the organizers announced a dataset of driving in fog, tunnels, steep gradients and sharp curves, to be made available without charge to companies and research institutions.[3]
