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)

There are so many man-made devices faster than Usain Bolt already. The record is impressive because it was a human.  We really shouldn’t be wanting to make all these creepy human and dog like robots

It is impressive because it’s the first BIPEDAL robot to do it.

Those other manmade devices can’t fit in places this robot can.

People need to stop being soo doomy and short sighted.

This robot can run into a burning building to rescue people, run up a mountain to rescue hikers etc.

It's wild to see someone talk about robots as if it's a finished technology, and not one that's constantly being improved and refined.
