A humanoid robot competing in the weightlifting final at China's World Humanoid Robot Games collapsed head first onto a judges' table after failing to lift a weight, a moment that undercut Beijing's ambitious push to dominate the global robotics race. The black and white robot gripped the weight, quivered, and managed to hoist it above its head before the shaking worsened. It dropped the weight, malfunctioned, stumbled toward the judges' table, and collapsed directly onto it. Officials immediately halted the competition and declared the attempt over. Staff in red vests placed the robot on a stretcher and escorted it off the floor, the Daily Mail reported . No cause of the malfunction was given. No injuries to judges or staff were…Open

Humanoid robots built by Chinese firms shattered human world records in the 100-meter sprint and high jump at the World Humanoid Robot Games in Beijing, a display of rapid technological progress that lands weeks after Washington moved to ban imports of foreign-made humanoid robots on national security grounds. A robot built by Beijing-based X-Humanoid crossed the 100-meter finish line in 9.39 seconds on Saturday, beating Usain Bolt's 2009 world record of 9.58 seconds. Another X-Humanoid machine cleared 2.88 meters in the standing high jump, nearly half a meter above Javier Sotomayor's 1993 human record of 2.45 meters. Just a year ago, at the first edition of these games, the best a humanoid robot could manage in the standing high jump was…Open

AMERICANALMANAC (Alan Benson) - China's 'Superman' robot claims to outrun Usain Bolt — but nobody has verified it

A Chinese robotics company says its new humanoid prototype hit 28.3 mph on a test track, a speed that would top Usain Bolt's world record, though the claim remains unverified and the firm's robots have already injured people.

A Chinese robotics company says its new humanoid prototype hit 28.3 mph on a test track, a speed that would top Usain Bolt's world record, though the claim remains unverified and the firm's robots have already injured people. Hangzhou-based Unitree posted video to X showing a bipedal machine it calls "Superman" sprinting along a track at what the company says was 12.66 metres per second. If accurate, that figure edges past the 12.42 m/s mark Bolt set at the 2009 World Athletics Championship, a record no human has touched since. The robot also jumped roughly two metres straight up from a standing position, clearing the 1.7-metre standing vertical record held by American Christopher Spell since 2021. Unitree packaged the demonstration as a…Open
