During a robot race, a Chinese humanoid robot reached an insane speed of 17.8 m/s (64 km/h), making it the fastest on the track. However, it subsequently lost control, broke down, and ran straight out of the stadium. The incident highlights the rapid progression from basic walking just a few years ago to high-speed racing, pushing the physical limits of current robotics.
