Robot sets half-marathon record

The scarlet-colored robot, developed by the smartphone company Honor, beat the human record by nearly seven minutes during a race in a Beijing suburb.

Engineers used liquid cooling technology and mimicked the leg length of elite human runners to achieve the record-breaking speed.

Dozens of other humanoid robots participated in the event, which was separate from the human race to ensure safety.

This milestone highlights a significant leap in the mobility and endurance of autonomous systems, raising new questions about the future of human-robot competition.
