Chinese robot “Lightning” breaks Usain Bolt’s 100m record

A Chinese humanoid robot named “Lightning” has run 100 meters faster than the fastest human in history, Usain Bolt. The robot completed the trial race in a time that beats Bolt’s world record of 9.58 seconds. Just one year ago, humanoid robots could barely finish the same distance without falling. The breakthrough shows how quickly robotic speed and balance are improving. Experts say this could lead to faster, more agile robots for real-world tasks, though the exact time of the race was not released.
