China's Tiangong Omni robot won 400m gold at the World Humanoid Robot Games in 45.66 seconds. Its viral "shy run" pose—arms close to the face and leaning forward—was self-learned via reinforcement learning. This gait reduces shoulder joint load/heat and utilizes the waist and hips more efficiently for speed.
