A Humanoid Robot Set a Half-Marathon Record in China

# Robot Runs Faster Than Any Human A Chinese company called Honor built a robot that completed a half marathon in just over 50 minutes—nearly 7 minutes faster than the world's best human runners. While this is impressive engineering, the robot was running on a controlled course designed specifically for it, not competing in a real race with varying terrain and conditions like humans do. The achievement shows how advanced robots are becoming at physical tasks, though they still operate in carefully optimized environments rather than the unpredictable real world.
