Humanoid robots have completed the 100-meter dash faster than Usain Bolt’s world record of 9.58 seconds, set in 2009. At the World Humanoid Robot Games in Beijing, Tiangong Ultra, developed by the Beijing Humanoid Robot Innovation Center, ran the distance in 9.39 seconds. Honor’s Lightning robot followed with a time of 9.47 seconds. The robots’ performance occurred during a preliminary heat on Saturday.

The achievement marks a new benchmark in robotics, though the context of these records being set within a specific competition and by specialized humanoid robots is present.
