It’s the fast-approaching dawning of the robot era.
We live in a race to produce the stronger, faster, and more useful robots on the planet – and the Chinese seem to have gathered some pace.
Robot firm Unitree has unveiled a ‘super-humanoid’ that – they are claiming – is faster than Usain Bolt, the world’s fastest sprinter.
The droid also performs other athletic tasks.
The New York Post reported:
“They unveiled the abilities of the cybernetic specimen, dubbed ‘Superman’, in an X video with nearly 950,000 views.
According to Unitree, the robot was developed in just three months but can already high jump 2 meters (6.56 feet) and achieve a top speed of 12.66 m/s (28.3 mph), allegedly eclipsing ‘the records of all humans around the world’.”
