Honor’s self-developed humanoid robot clocks 9.32sec
Quicker than 9.58sec men’s world record set 17 years ago
Chinese smartphone maker Honor’s self-developed humanoid robot Lightning ran the 100m in 9.32 seconds, beating the human world record, China’s state broadcaster reported.
The humanoid reached a peak speed of 14.5 metres per second during a preparatory test event for the second World Humanoid Robot Games, which begin on Saturday. This performance surpassed the 9.58sec men’s 100m world record set by Usain Bolt 17 years ago at the World Athletics Championships in Berlin.
