Chinese Humanoid Robot Runs Half Marathon, Beats Fastest Human Time in History

At Beijing’s second annual humanoid robot half marathon, an Honor-built robot finished the 13.1-mile course in 48:19.

A separate Honor robot ran autonomously and finished in 50:26, winning under the event’s scoring rules.

The race underscores how fast humanoid robotics is advancing in China.

It also points to possible spillover from racing robots into industrial applications.
