Bolt humanoid robot sets world record on treadmill in China

China has unveiled the Bolt humanoid robot, which set a world record by reaching speeds of up to 10 m/s on a treadmill. This result is the best among robots to date. The message about this was published on January 3 by the Hangzhou International Scientific and Technical Innovation Center on the WeChat social network account.

The robot was presented as a full-size humanoid specimen. Bolt was named after Jamaican track and field athlete Usain Bolt, who set a world record in the 100 m in 9.58 seconds.

The Bolt robot was developed in collaboration with Shanghai-based MirrorMe Tech and Zhejiang-based Kaierda. In the future, the developers plan to continue improving the machine and expand its application areas, including services and manufacturing.
