Tiangong Ultra, developed in China, clocked the impressive time during competition at the World Humanoid Robot Games held in Beijing, marking a significant milestone in robotic engineering and athletic performance.
While the feat falls short of Usain Bolt's world record of 9.58 seconds set by the Jamaican sprinter, it represents the fastest recorded 100-metre dash by a humanoid robot to date.
The achievement underscores rapid advances in robotics technology, particularly in China's development of sophisticated humanoid machines capable of replicating human athletic movements with increasing precision and speed.
The World Humanoid Robot Games serve as a global platform for showcasing innovations in robotics, with competing machines tested across various physical tasks that mirror human athletic competitions. The event attracts participants from leading robotics programmes across multiple countries.
