The robot ran past Bolt, and it was still late for the start.

A Chinese-developed humanoid robot named Tiangong Ultra set a new world record by completing a 100-meter sprint in 8.64 seconds, surpassing Usain Bolt's previous record of 9.58 seconds. The robot's performance was noted for its high average speed of nearly 42 km/h. However, experts pointed out that the robot did not run like a human, highlighting differences such as its inability to react quickly to the starting signal and its awkward posture. While the robot demonstrated significant technological advancement, especially in maintaining balance and speed, there were still limitations compared to human athletes, particularly in decision-making and perception. Experts suggested that if the robot used starting blocks, it could potentially be even faster. The robot's design improvements include lighter materials, enhanced motors, and optimized movement software.
