Robot shatters half-marathon record

In a stunning display of technological prowess, a Chinese-developed android has shattered the human world record for a half-marathon.

Developed by smartphone manufacturer Honor, the robot competed against 12,000 human participants, crossing the finish line nearly seven minutes faster than the previous human record.

The event highlights the intense global competition in AI and robotics, particularly between the U.S. and China.

Experts suggest that such advancements in balance and endurance could soon lead to wider commercial and industrial applications for humanoid technology.
