Robot shatters half-marathon record

In a historic display of technological prowess, a Chinese-made humanoid robot named 'Lightning' outran thousands of human competitors at a Beijing half-marathon.

Finishing the 21-kilometer race in approximately 50 minutes, the device surpassed the human world record of 57 minutes held by Jacob Kiplimo.

The event featured over 100 robots running in parallel tracks to demonstrate their autonomous navigation and athletic capabilities.

Experts suggest this milestone signals a new era where AI-powered machines can mimic and exceed elite human physical performance.
