The protagonist of this amazing feat is Tiangong Ultra, a robot part of the Tianzhuo team, who has completed the 100 meters in just 9.39 seconds. A time that improves upon Usain Bolt's 9.58 seconds world human record set in 2009.
The competition, now in its second edition, brings together different teams and humanoid robots in the Chinese capital, ready to showcase their athletic abilities. Speed is one of the tests generating the most excitement among attendees and spectators.
The time of Tiangong Ultra marks a new milestone for robotics and demonstrates how far these devices have evolved, capable of running at speeds that a few years ago seemed impossible for a machine with a human form.
However, the comparison with human athletes has some nuances, and from the images, it seems that the robots end up a bit more "on the ground" than humans.
