Chinese humanoid robot Lightning, developed by Honor, completed a 100-meter outdoor test run in 9.32 seconds, reaching a top speed of 14.5 meters per second. The time was 0.26 seconds faster than Usain Bolt's men's 100-meter world record of 9.58 seconds, though the run was a test, not an official competition. Fans can catch Lightning – winner of the Beijing E-Town humanoid robot half-marathon champ in April – at the 2nd World Humanoid Robot Games in Beijing.
