Humanoid robot runs a half marathon fast. I’m actually impressed because it just feels like it would fall over at least a few times. But it’s not relevant to human runners… A car can finish a marathon more quickly than a human too! 🤪

@manton I’m not sure it’s completely irrelevant. A car runs on an entirely different framework, but the robot has many human-like aspects in its design. So it might be helpful for better understanding key aspects of running, e.g., balance, stride, pace, joint fatigue.

@drjlwells Ah, great point. I was just thinking from the competitive aspect.
