Humanoid robots crush humans during half-marathon — and set the world record
Humanoid robots developed by Chinese companies participated in a half-marathon in Beijing, with the winning robot setting a record time of 50 minutes and 26 seconds. The robots demonstrated improved athleticism and autonomous navigation skills, highlighting China's advancements in robotics.
Dozens of Chinese-made humanoid robots participated in a half-marathon in Beijing, showcasing their improved athleticism and autonomous navigation skills. The winning robot, developed by Honor, finished the 13-mile race in 50 minutes and 26 seconds, beating the human half-marathon world record. Nearly half of the robot entrants navigated the tougher terrain autonomously, and teams from Honor took the three podium spots. The robots were designed to mimic elite human runners, with legs 90 to 95 cm long and liquid cooling technology. While the sector remains in a nascent phase, experts believe humanoids will eventually reshape many industries, including manufacturing. However, Chinese robotics firms still struggle to develop AI software to enable humanoids to match human factory workers' efficiency.
