Unitree's 'Superman' robot reportedly beats Usain Bolt in a speed demo
Unitree unveiled a humanoid robot nicknamed 'Superman' claiming a top speed of 12.66 m/s (28.3 mph) and a 2-meter standing jump, touted in a video as potentially beating Usain Bolt. Developed in about three months, the bot is slated for a Shanghai STAR Market debut alongside events like the World Robot Conference, but experts caution that such feats require verification and highlight safety concerns after previous Unitree incidents with robots injuring a handler and a child.
