Two humanoid robots ran the 100-meter dash at the World Humanoid Robot Games in Beijing on Saturday, outpacing Usain Bolt's world record time of 9.58 seconds. The Tiangong Ultra robot completed the sprint in 9.39 seconds, edging out Honor's Lightning robot, which finished in 9.47 seconds. Despite their impressive times, the robots required assistance and collided with pads after their sprints.
This marks a significant improvement from last year's inaugural World Humanoid Robot Games, where Tiangong Ultra finished the 100-meter dash in 21.5 seconds. The World Humanoid Robot Games, which began on August 22 and will run until August 26, feature robot competitors in various events beyond track and field, including soccer, table tennis, and boxing.
