What Happened
Over 100 Chinese-made humanoid robots competed in Beijing's half-marathon on Sunday, with Honor-developed winner completing the race in 50 minutes 26 seconds, faster than the human world record. The dramatic improvement contrasts sharply with last year's inaugural event when most robots failed to finish. Robots ran parallel tracks alongside human competitors.
