Humanoid Robot Outruns Usain Bolt's 100m World Record

A humanoid robot has sprinted faster than Usain Bolt's famous 100-meter world record at the World Humanoid Robot Games in China.

Developed by the Beijing Innovation Centre of Humanoid Robotics, the robot completed the 100-meter run in just 9.39 seconds. That time beats the long-standing human world record of 9.58 seconds, set by eight-time Olympic gold medalist Usain Bolt in 2009.
