	While 1,040 robots, each 43.8-centimetres tall, had attempted the challenge in the port city of Qingdao, only 1,007 were in motion for the full minute, the official Xinhua news agency reported.&nbsp;</div>

	The biggest challenge for remote control of the robots is radio frequency interference from sources such as mobile phones, Xinhua cited Quan Jinyou, chief technology officer of Qingdao-based Ever Win Company, which produced the robots, as saying. Quan said the company used encryption technology to reduce interference.</div>
