🤖 Chinese humanoid robots have taken part in a half-marathon race in Beijing and they've whizzed past mere humans.
Developed by Chinese smartphone brand 'Honor', "Lightning" was crowned champion, finishing the race in 50 minutes and 26 seconds, several minutes faster than the half-marathon world record set by Ugandan runner Jacob Kiplimo in Lisbon last month.
