Chinese scientists say they have developed a humanoid robot nicknamed “Superman” that sets a new world speed record. The robot reaches a top speed of 28.3 mph, according to the outlet reporting on the claim.
The reports focus on the robot’s acceleration and maximum velocity, framing the result as an attempt to outperform human sprinters. In both sources, the comparison to Usain Bolt is used to highlight the speed figure, rather than detailing broader performance metrics. Neither outlet provides additional technical specifications, the test location, the exact measurement method, or the official governing body that would validate a “world record.”
