Summary
Both robot times were faster than Usain Bolt’s 9.58-second human world record, while a Unitree robot recorded 12.41 seconds. The result concerns a robot race and does not establish a new human athletics record.
Why it matters
The event provides a visible test of high-speed bipedal locomotion, a core bottleneck for useful humanoid robots.
