A humanoid from Honor reportedly โwonโ a Beijing half-marathon in 50:26, faster than Jacob Kiplimoโs human world record pace. Thatโs about three minutes, 51 seconds per mile. (Kiplimo did 4:23/mile, which is insane).

Some tiny details that matter: It was tele-operated, not fully autonomous, and needed battery swaps mid-race. We all need a recharge at some point. So, less Terminator, more remote-controlled Peloton.
Still, weโve reached the point where robots are entering races, and humans are complaining whether or not itโs fair.
