A headless humanoid robot named Tiangong Ultra performs a 100-metre dash at the World Humanoid Robot Games in Beijing, drawing attention from spectators. The robot’s time is reported as fast enough to surpass Usain Bolt’s 100-metre world record, with one outlet describing the moment as surprising and the crowd as amazed.
Outlet reporting differs on the exact recorded time and how it is framed. The Mirror focuses on the spectacle of the robot smashing Bolt’s 9.58-second mark, while Free Malaysia Today gives a specific figure, stating Tiangong Ultra completes the race in 9.39 seconds. Both sources present the performance as a record-breaking result at the Beijing event and identify the machine as headless and humanoid, though they provide limited additional technical details about timing methods or track conditions.
