flag A Chinese team created Bolt, a humanoid robot that runs 10 m/s, matching elite human sprinters, and is being tested for real-world use.

flag A Chinese team from Zhejiang University and local startups has developed a humanoid robot named Bolt that runs at 10 meters per second, matching elite human sprinters. flag The robot, named after Usain Bolt, achieved this speed through advanced locomotion control and dynamic balance systems, outpacing a human tester on a treadmill despite shorter strides. flag This follows the team’s 2025 success with a quadruped robot that also exceeded 10 meters per second. flag The development reflects China’s growing momentum in humanoid robotics, with such machines now being tested for real-world uses, including performances at major national events like the 2026 Spring Festival Gala.
