Robot smashes 100m sprint record at 8.86 seconds
Tiangong, a humanoid robot, just ran 100 meters in 8.86 seconds during the first semi-final heat — faster than any human has ever achieved. The current human world record stands at 9.58 seconds.
The robot's performance has improved rapidly throughout the competition:
• Opening night: 9.39 seconds
• Next attempt: 9.32 seconds
• Latest run: 8.86 seconds
This marks a significant milestone in robotics and raises questions about the future capabilities of humanoid machines in physical tasks.
