A humanoid robot runs the 100 metres faster than the world best time held by Usain Bolt. According to one outlet, the robot records 9.39 seconds in a sprint event, improving on the human benchmark of 9.58 seconds.
The sources cite Bolt’s 100m mark—9.58 seconds, set in 2009—as the reference point. One article frames Bolt’s time as the long-standing world record for humans, established at the 2009 level. Another focuses on the robot’s performance, describing the event as Olympics-like and emphasizing the gap between the robot’s time and Bolt’s established human record. While details such as the venue, event organizer, and judging conditions are not provided in the excerpts, both accounts present the same comparison: the robot’s 9.39 seconds versus Bolt’s 9.58 seconds.
