Robot breaks half-marathon record
The Beijing Humanoid Half Marathon showcased the rapid advancement of autonomous robotics as dozens of machines competed alongside human runners.
The winning H1 model demonstrated exceptional stability and speed, whizzing past athletes and cutting over 90 minutes off the previous robotic record.
While the event was marked by some chaotic tumbles and mechanical failures, the overall performance highlighted China's growing dominance in AI and robotics engineering.
Experts suggest these machines could soon be deployed for hazardous real-world tasks such as power grid maintenance and urban security.
