  "summary": "A humanoid robot has mimicked Cristiano Ronaldo's famous 'Siuuu' celebration in a viral video, according to Punch.\n\nAt the World Humanoid Robot Games in Beijing, China, robots have beaten human records in athletic events. A robot called Tiangong Ultra, developed by the Beijing Humanoid Robot Innovation Center, ran 100 meters in 9.39 seconds, surpassing Jamaican sprinter Usain Bolt's world record of 9.58 seconds set in 2009, as reported by Gulf News and Live Mint. Another robot, Lightning, made by Honor, completed the 100 meters in 9.47 seconds, also faster than Bolt's record.\n\nTiangong Ultra also broke the 400-meter world record with a time of 38.16 seconds, revised to 38.15 seconds, according to Gulf News. The robots' finishes were not smooth, with both Tiangong Ultra and Lightning crashing into a mat or collapsing after crossing the finish line, as reported by Live Mint.",
