Robot Runners: Faster Than Humans?

An autonomous robot named Lightning shocked the world when it won a half marathon in Beijing, China, beating 12,000 human runners and over 300 other robots. It finished the 13.1-mile race in just 50 minutes, even faster than the current human world record! While some robots struggled, fell, or overheated, the huge improvement from last year shows how quickly robotics and artificial intelligence are advancing. Events like this help engineers test technology in real-world situations and imagine what robots might be able to do in the future.
