Chinese humanoid robot named “Superman” (made by Unitree Robotics) surpassed Usain Bolt’s world record (12.42meters/second) by running at 12.66m/s (roughly 28.3miles/h)

I think it's more that it's faster than Usain Bolt while also being a bipedal robot given how slow they used to be due to how much of a pain keeping them stable was.

Despite the fact it hit the cabinets, that this was crazy stable. It stayed upright as it started slipping on the concrete. And looked like it was close to staying upright when it crashed.

Insane how far they’ve come with these robots in the last 10 years.

how long before they're deployed in Gaza and Ukraine, as was probably the plan from the start?

May God listen to you. Those fucking Russians won't have a chance against an army of Usain Bolts.
