Feels like “beating human records” is pretty meaningless for things that are… not human. I was intrigued to see what the entry criteria were since these are meant to be humanoid, but couldn’t find any real information on it.
2 monthsNext thing they’ll tell us is that motorcycles are faster than people-powered bicycles…

Being able to balance and move realistically as a bipedal with speed is quite the feat though.

Newsflash, cars drive faster than humans run. Planes fly higher than humans jump.

Sooooooo you’ve got a heart transplant to get into the middle of a dense forest during a war, there’s too much flak for air support, and a vehicle would go at a snails pace.
Would you rather die because technology didn’t advance to allow a robot to be able to run through the forest at breakneck speed because planes exist? Or should we be trying to advance technology at every barrier because there’s other situations where those just don’t make a lick of fucking sense.
There’s obviously contextual situations where a plane and vehicle don’t make sense, but sure let’s inhibit progress for… whatever reason you think you’re making here….?
