Robot sets half-marathon record

Developed by the technology firm Honor, Lightning utilized advanced liquid cooling systems and a design that mimicked the leg length of elite human runners.

The race featured over 100 robots competing on a parallel course to avoid collisions with human athletes.

The achievement is being hailed as a major milestone in robotics, demonstrating significant progress in bipedal locomotion and endurance.

Scientists suggest that such technology could eventually be used for search and rescue operations in challenging environments.
