A humanoid robot developed by the Chinese smartphone manufacturer Honor ran 100 meters in 9 minutes and 32 seconds, beating the human world record of the great Jamaican sprinter Usain Bolt. This was reported by the Chinese state broadcaster. International media are highlighting the news. The robot, nicknamed Lightning, reached a top speed of 14.5 meters per second during a trial event for the second edition of the Humanoid Robotics World Games, which opened in Beijing today. The performance surpassed the men’s 100-meter world record of 9.58 seconds set by Bolt at the 2009 Berlin World Championships.
