A humanoid robot developed by Chinese smartphone maker Honor has achieved a remarkable feat by winning a half-marathon in Beijing while running faster than the current human world record. The robot completed the 21-kilometer race in 50 minutes and 26 seconds, overtaking Uganda's Jacob Kiplimo's record of approximately 57 minutes. This performance marks a significant advancement from last year's event, where the winning robot finished in over two hours. While the race showcased impressive technological strides, some robots experienced glitches, including falling or bumping into barriers. Engineers highlighted that the robot's design was inspired by elite athletes, featuring long legs and a sophisticated liquid-cooling system, with the potential to transfer these innovations to industrial uses.
