The humanoid robot showcased rapid technological progress by Chinese makers during the race.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The event took place in Beijing. The humanoid robot, equipped with an autonomous navigation system, ran for Chinese smartphone maker Honor. It completed the 21km (13-mile) course in 50 minutes and 26 seconds. Additionally, it maintained an average speed of about 25km\/h (15.5mph), according to state broadcaster CCTV.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Meanwhile, the performance was significantly faster than the top human finisher in Sunday\u2019s race. It also surpassed the current men\u2019s world record of 57:20, which is held by Ugandan runner Jacob Kiplimo. This result highlighted a major milestone in <a href=\"https:\/\/techxmedia.com\/en\/?s=robotics\">robotics<\/a> and competitive performance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Overall, the achievement marks a notable step forward in sports robotics, as the humanoid robot continues to push the boundaries of speed and autonomous movement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A humanoid robot competing against human runners has broken a [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":58,"featured_media":105179,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"inline_featured_image":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[9618],"tags":[2725],"contributor":[9732],"class_list":["post-105177","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-editors-pick","tag-artificial-intelligence","contributor-news-desk"],"featured_image_src":"https:\/\/techxmedia.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/AI-Robot-Runs.jpg.jpeg","author_info":{"display_name":"Lubna","author_link":"https:\/\/techxmedia.com\/en\/author\/lubna\/"},"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/techxmedia.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/105177","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/techxmedia.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/techxmedia.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/techxmedia.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/58"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/techxmedia.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=105177"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/techxmedia.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/105177\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":105178,"href":"https:\/\/techxmedia.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/105177\/revisions\/105178"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/techxmedia.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/105179"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/techxmedia.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=105177"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/techxmedia.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=105177"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/techxmedia.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=105177"},{"taxonomy":"contributor","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/techxmedia.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/contributor?post=105177"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
