A humanoid robot developed by Chinese smartphone maker Honor ran 100 meters in 9.32 seconds, China's state broadcaster reported on Saturday, beating the human world record held by Jamaican sprinting great Usain Bolt.
The robot, dubbed Lightning, reached a peak speed of 14.5 meters per second during a preparatory test event for the second World Humanoid Robot Games, which opened in Beijing on Saturday.
The performance surpassed the 9.58-second men's 100-metre world record set by Bolt at the World Athletics Championships in Berlin in 2009.
