A half-marathon event in Beijing's E-Town economic and technological development zone saw a robot named Lightning set a new record, finishing the course in 50 minutes and 26 seconds. Developed by Chinese tech company Honor, Lightning outperformed the current human record of 57 minutes and 20 seconds. The 169-cm-tall robot is equipped with advanced features, including a peak torque of 400 Nm and a liquid-cooling system. Over 100 robots participated in the event, with the top three spots claimed by robots developed by Honor. The autonomous competitors were guided by the BeiDou Navigation Satellite System and 5G real-time information. One robot suffered a significant malfunction, tripping at the starting line and breaking apart, while the winner, Lightning, recovered from a collision with a barricade to complete the race.
